The Wood For The Trees

I do not know where Proportional Representation delivered what its proponents for Britain professed to want, but then nor does First Past the Post give Britain what its defenders professed to wish to save. What I do know, though, is that the British now voted as if we had Proportional Representation, for the parties or candidates that aligned most closely with our views, and we no longer cared what First Past the Post made of that. The parties that benefitted are similarly indifferent to the views of the legacy parties and of their legacy media.

So they should stop whining that the Greens no longer talked about the trees. When the Greens did talk about the trees, then they did nowhere near as well as they were doing now. Likewise, if you thought that it might pose a problem for the Green Party, either that Zack Polanski had claimed to be able to hypnotise women to make their breasts grow larger, or that he was unrepentant about having done so, then you naively assumed yourself to be the target audience. Not that you minded when the court of Tony Blair featured Carole Caplin and her clairvoyant mother, the Temazcal of Nancy Aguilar and the stone circle of the wonderfully monikered Jack Temple, Cherie’s BioElectric Shield that had been given to her by Hillary Clinton, and much else besides.

All of that is potentially as pernicious as Julius Evola, and in the case of the Blair Government it was. The Greens have deep reactionary roots, and they and the Far Right cross over on the ground of paganism, occultism, pseudohistory and pseudoscience, while in the age of globalisation, the Epstein Class is the iteration of the class that had always rejected the recapitulation in Jesus Christ and His Church of all three of the Old Israel, Hellenism, and the Roman Empire, a class that now encompassed centrists, right-wing populists, right-wing elitists, and the world’s only famous anarcho-syndicalist and libertarian socialist, who would presumably vote Green in Britain.
