Politics

(Dedicated to true participatory democracy where citizens vote for Independent Candidates running on issues – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)

 

[British style multi-party politics is divisive rather anti-democratic that mainly serves elites guaranteeing aristocratic supremacy! In a true participatory democracy there won’t be any political party to divide people and the country forever with ideologies; all candidates would be independent debating and campaigning for the issues determined by the central election commission based on pre-election national/provincial/state wide survey of most urgent and important issues for the benefit of all people and the country! Debates will change to discussions among the elected members once Government is formed making parliament a civilized institution instead of shouting and infighting at the expense of the tax payers while the shadow power rises undercover!

Politics is inherently divisive -

No matter how media portrays it!

Leaders try in vain to unite people under parties

Talking about bi-partisan, multi-partisanships

Merely to divert attention from very nature of politics -

That its synonym is poly tricks!

 

Thus all efforts to unify people under politics -

Only ended in a society indifferent and illusive

While citizens suffer to maintain expensive leaderships!

Where strategists win opponents for victories

Making politicians work against participatory democracy

Voting against voters for aristocratic supremacy

Marring nations with unsolved problems buried under infighting!

Repeating history of wars and poverty

Dividing communities, countries, and world permanently!

 

In 1770, Sir William Pitt, speaking to the House of Lords, said: "There is something behind the throne greater than the king himself."

This reference to the Money Changers behind the Bank of England gave birth to the expression, "the power behind the throne".

In 1844, Benjamin Disraeli, in a veiled allusion to this same power, wrote: "The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes."

On 21 November 1933, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote in a letter to a confidant: "The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson…"
