How To Get People To Love Politicians

To change the near universal hatred and contempt the public has towards politicians into something approaching love or at least non hate is very simple.People hate politicians because they are paid for out of the public purse ie through taxation.If this were not the case and politicians had to rely on individuals and groups financing them through voluntary contributions all the anger felt towards politicians would melt like snow in the summer sun.

It is obscene and profoundly undemocratic and a violation of individual rights that anyone should have to finance a politician who has opposite views to them.This works both ways of course.Just as I resent having to finance George Galloway a dyed in the wool Lefty would resent having to finance Cameron and his Tory cadres.My solution obviates this problem.Yes unions can support Labour if they choose but the caveat being that the legal immunity they got from Labour 100 years ago regarding immunity from striking would have to be repealed.If someone goes on strike that is a breach of contract and the employer should have the right to sack them immediately.

The answer to the argument that no one would want to be a politician if they were not paid out of the public purse is very simple. In a Capitalist system there would be very little for politicians to do and only a small percentage of the present commons intake would be required.Power lusters would have no scope for advancement as they would have very little to offer their prospective electorate in terms of bribes and welfare bounty and they would have to find expression for their psychopathic impulses elsewhere,perhaps in the criminal underworld which would be their natural milieu.

This of course also obtains re big business support for Conservatives.As there would be no meddling in business under a true Capitalist system businesses would not have to pay Conservatives what is effectively protection money to defend their interests from punitive taxation and bureaucratic Red tape.The whole lobby system would cease to exist and the grubby compromising backroom deals between politicians,unions and big business would be but a dark and distant memory.
