Collective People must become sovereign over Westminster Clique: No opposition to the collective people should be empowered with power and control over the collective people.
What I think is right is the collective people doing what they think is right for society as a whole. Instead we divide everything up so as to play power games as if peoples lives were the importance level of some type of computer game. Some exploit that massively, manipulating it for their own power. Some are more innocent about it, and consume it in something closer to a geek or obsessive style.
What I think is wrong is dividing the people and then not doing what the collective people think is right for society as a whole. It is wrong that clique fractions of the population possess power and control over the collective whole. Instead we must ignore them. Them = the Westminster SW1 elite (namely the government, parties and national right wing print press). E.g., the national right wing print press can exist (as is its right to do so) but that is all. The collective people do not think highly of them. We think lowly of them. They can exist (we are not Nazi scum) but that is all they are worth… existing… until they go out of business. I think there is support in society (the collective whole) for speeding the going out of business process up by clobbering them with tax.
You see, I am opposed to giving power to clique factions. We rise and fall together… not as demographics. When thinking of issues, we must focus 100% on society, and 0% on little power cliques.
I can imagine some people thinking that my real target is the Tories and not at all Labour. That would be wrong. The truth is that the Tories are a power and control clique but I consider the Labour Party as part of the Westminster political class as well. Let me try and convince you firstly by referring to the Tories and then showing Labour are similar to them. In my lifetime I think the Tories have not come up with one single BIG progressive policy. Even David Cameron commendably initiating Lesbian and Gay Marriage is credit to public figures (celebrities) who bravely took the first step in coming out of the closet… followed by people in the general public. That isn’t a criticism of Cameron but he only initiated it within the political class... he (like the political class in general) followed. I am just saying that even lesbian and gay marriage is thanks to the collective society… indeed it’s an excellent example of what I mean about collective people doing what they think is right for society as a whole. But Labour have not come up with one single BIG progressive policy in my lifetime either. It’s all been tinkering. 1945 was the last quality government and that was only because of World War 2. The price was off the scales. We had to be bombed and collectively traumatised by another military power-house in order to introduce the NHS. My view of New Labour is that they too had slanted clique power. Rather than people as a whole deciding our own direction we had the clique of Blair/Brown. If you click on the link about ‘New Party’ that I reference at the end of this mini paper you will see that Labour tick NONE of the boxes that I want ticking. They are similar to the Tories… indeed, I see no difference right now. I view them as part of the Westminster clique.
Our political and economic system is divisive. It must be changed so that society is One. For example at present there would be an outcry from a clique of economic right wingers if UBI were introduced, and yet it is the will of almost all of Britain. The vast majority not only support it, but also think it is the duty of the state to provide income for all adult British citizens. That is some gulf between the people and a Westminster clique. And yet that clique would have the clique national right wing print press on their side. I’m sorry but its not good enough. It must end. The clique must be reduced to the power of individuals. The collective whole stands and falls together. No opposition to the collective people should be empowered with power and control over the collective people.
This is all why I do not dictate on UBI policy. The very best example of that is… I am aware that the British people want UBI. (and very recently I have become aware that they think it’s an important duty of the state to provide a UBI for its people). But I am unaware (because unable to find) any study that states what level of UBI the public think the state should provide the people with. I refuse to just guess. I confess that I really should know this. But I can’t find any research into that specific aspect of the issue. And yes, I admit it’s a very important part. My point here is that I don’t get to decide. And that is the same as saying that e.g., the right wing print press don’t get to decide. And it’s the same as saying that Boris Johnson doesn’t get to decide. What I think is right is the collective people doing what they think is right for society as a whole. We stand and fall together as One, not as a divided with some more powerful than others.

I am NOT predicting a new party. I do not know if one will emerge or not. But if it does it would have to be very good. For me it would have to look like this…
Almost 80% of Brits think its important for national government to provide all UK adult citizens with UBI. Only 18% disagree.
