Mistrust of politicians in the UK is rife and the rise of UKIP speaks to the anti establishment feeling abroad that there is something inherently rotten in the state of British politics.The malaise runs deep and it is characterised by an anti Party per se sentiment.People value choice in the marketplace and by and large they get it but in politics it seems we are mired in 19th century thinking which is at odds with our bespoke culture of individualism and which offers a condescending one size fits all approach.
The young generation will begin to wonder what the point of politics is if their personal choice is removed from them.If they can choose what ipad to purchase,clothes to buy,goods to consume why can they not do the same in the realm of education or health? The NHS and State education system paid for out of general taxation seems ill sorted to our desire for individual choice and autonomy.
Why not eliminate the middleman ie the State entirely in these fields and others and allow the market to provide education,health,transport,culture and everything else we require where choice will produce abundance rather than the scarcity the sclerotic,unresponsive,bureaucratic Socialist State engenders?The role of the State would thus be delimited,it would not tax us in our comings and goings or play politics with our lives,rather it would confine itself to its proper role and function namely to protect individual rights ie, a standing army,police force and courts to maintain the rule of law and offer redress against force and fraud.The market will take care of the rest.
Tesco and others provide a great service,the State wherever it extends causes rationing and poor service and it is time we put it back in its proper place and allowed freedom to reign.
