As we approach the next general election, it is worth asking how much lasting damage has been done to Britain
In the dying days of the Habsburg Empire, people in Vienna quipped that the situation was disastrous, but not serious. Modern BritainSome of these crises are slow burning with 12 million people, nearly one in five Britons, living in absolute poverty.
Yet reliance on the fundamental silliness of British political leaders to hobble their authoritarian instincts is a dangerous business and involves a fair amount of wishful thinking. Silliness does not matter too much when the gravity of crises rates fairly low on the Richter scale, but at some point a government of blunderers will blunder into real minefields and blow everybody up.
British politics has become a sort of black comedy, though the same could be said of the US. Maybe lightweight governments are the new normal, dominated by leaders whose skills are in making their voices heard – through shrieking loudest, provoking outrage or simply providing entertainment – amid the oceans of information pouring out of the internet, television, radio and print.
These studies of demographic transformation seek to make our skin crawl with prophecies of a world destabilised by radically new age patterns. The biggest and most traumatic effect of of this transformation is on societies already divided and under stress., for example, there is a very immediate crisis in the recruitment of soldiers for the armed forces because of a demographic collapse in the 1990s when the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to impoverishment.
