Representing no public interest

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Where parties and governments are bad, as they are in most ages and countries, it makes practically no difference to a community, apart from local ravages, whether its own army or the enemy’s is victorious in war, nor does it really affect any man’s welfare whether the party he happens to belong to is in office or not. These issues concern, in such cases, only the army itself, whose lives and fortunes are at stake, or the official classes, who lose their places when their leaders fall from power.

The private citizen in any event continues in such countries to pay a maximum of taxes and to suffer, in all his private interests, a maximum of vexation and neglect. Nevertheless, because he has some son at the front, some cousin in the government, or some historical sentiment for the flag and the nominal essence of his country, the oppressed subject will glow like the rest with patriotic ardour, and will decry as dead to duty and honour anyone who points out how perverse is this helpless allegiance to a government representing no public interest.

George Santayana – The Life of Reason (1905-6)

Santayana writes here about armed conflict before the Great War, but any country could decline into this state of affairs. Governments always seem to find reasons to ignore the public interest. This key phrase describes very well the UK democratic decline we have seen for years – a government representing no public interest.

Net Zero – represents no public interest.

Forced uptake of EVs – represents no public interest.

Gender politics – represents no public interest.

VAT on private schools – represents no public interest.

Great British Energy – represents no public interest.

Mass immigration – represents no public interest.

For decades, the major UK political parties have have shown no interest in representing the wider public interest of voters, the day-to-day, life as it is lived interests.
