1/ The Johnson/Cummings modus operandi appears to be to deliver ineffectual governance – perhaps to break down any notion of logic or good sense in the relationship between government and people.

This perfect fits the kleptocratic/libertarian agenda.

2/ If trust in democratic governance can be destroyed then people won't make an effort to defend democracy. The projects to destroy democracy laid out by William Rees-Mogg (admired by Peter Thiel) and James Buchanan (admired by the Kochs) will be able to continue apace.
3/ In response to the replies to this thread, if you as a voter believe that governments are always useless and incompetent would you vote for parties that promise more government? Or would you perhaps give up on competence and vote according to prejudice and emotion?

1/ How can we fight a political enemy for which we don't even have a name? And yet that's what we are trying to do. We talk about Trump, Johnson, Farage, Putin, Elliott, Cummings, Fascists, Racists, Murdoch, Koch etc. And each time we pick out just one part of our adversary.
2/ The force attacking democracy is a loose alliance of Kleptocratic billionaires who see democracy as a parasite and their political and media hangers-on, Putin who sees it as a threat, and fascists, racists and bigots who crave the power to freely unleash their hate.
3/ So what we have is not just the kleptocratic super-rich or Putin or the fascists and racists, but all three working together to destroy democracy. We need a name for that alliance. I say we should call it kleptofascism. The name isn't perfect but it links the main elements.

Johnson has given a peerage to Claire Fox, one of the creepy former Revolutionary Communists including Brendan O'Neil (Spiked) and Munira Mirza (now in Number 10) who have abandoned Trotskyism for Kleptofascism and Putinism.

The rise of this RCP clique is very curious indeed.
Munira Mirza's husband - also now in Number 10 is Dougie Smith who used to organise sex parties for the rich. Is kompromat being used for political advancement? Or is something else in play?

Frank Furedi, the founder of the RCP ( Claire Fox, Brendan O'Neil and Munira Mirza) seems to have a soft spot for Putin. Why should that be unsurprising? After all Spiked Online to which they all contribute has a consistently pro-Putin outlook.

1/ I despair at people assuming voters will desert the Tories in droves when Brexit hits the economy. We've had ten years of economic failure and the coronavirus massacre and the Tories are above 40%. Tory support isn't about facts and reasons, it's mostly about tribalism.
2/ People on the centre and left often assume politics is mostly about economics (not an assumption made on the right). Leftists think it is about inequality, Centrists think it is about economic success or failure. Both viewpoints are, in my view, profoundly flawed.
3/ We humans have a strong disposition towards a tribal mentality. It's a psychological disposition that served our ancestors well prior to civilisation. When we feel socially and economically insecure we often seek security in the modern surrogate for a tribe.
