“Post-Election Hangover”

(Translated from Czech. Original. Author: Benjamin Kuras)

On the Monday after the election Tony Blair initiated the first popular-democratic, New Labour five year plan: He increased his own pay by 40%, that of the other ministers by 20%. And he took good care to have as many of his old pals as possible in the government. Including his flatmate from student days, who was responsible for the "People's Dome". This gigantic circus tent, meant to be a colossal People's Palace of Culture, collapsed with millions of pounds of debt and stands empty today and nobody knows what to do with it. The minister responsible, promoted to the peerage and rich in experience how to collect and waste the maximum of public money, becomes minister "for planning and construction of public housing", a new function made to measure for him. The former minister of agriculture, responsible of cleansing the countryside from these well-known parasites, the farming community by means of foot and mouth disease gets the newly invented function of "minister of public works". His former ministry is taken over by another "Blair's Babe" and changed to "Ministry of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs", with the intention of agriculture becoming just another tourist attraction.

About a dozen of party functionaries attached to various ministries with the function of supervising the traditional professional civil servants - another novelty of this government - were dismissed about a month before the election, each with a golden handshake of œ300.000. For this one month they were employed and paid by the taxpayer as election managers. Now they are back in the ministries, with a rise in pay.

In the country foot and mouth continues, as do the massacres and burning of cattle - about a fifth of all livestock has now been liquidated and the cost to the taxpayer is estimated at 30 billions of pounds.

To compensate for the losses money is taken from the budgets of less necessary departments who are moreover "bastions of conservatism", as for instance the Royal Navy who cannot today afford  sufficient fuel for its ships and helicopters, or ammunition to defend the UK, not to mention fulfilling its tasks in NATO. Another "Bastion of Conservatism and Racism" the police, which with an insufficient number of constables has long given up chasing thieves and murderers has now been given new directives: "Earn your own keep, boys". They will be given a percentage of fines collected, mainly for traffic offences. Speed cameras will be installed roughly on every 3 miles of main roads and 10 miles of secondary roads so that all speeding motorists will be caught. In order to fulfil the budget it is estimated that 240.000 motorists must be fined. How many policemen will now have time (or will be willing) to chase criminals when they can earn easy money with cameras and radar? But what will happen to the budget when drivers begin to drive by the rules?

All this and much more can be done with a huge majority in Parliament as a result of a "landslide victory" and a "clear mandate". This was achieved by the votes of a quarter of all registered electors, 41% did not bother to vote, not trusting any politician. The strongest political party is the "apathy party" to whom it does not matter who governs and how.

Blair's Labourists have achieved what they never kept secret, not to win more and more elections, but to liquidate Conservatism as a political ideal and social system, whose creed is minimum state control and maximum individual freedom, choice and responsibility. Now they are able to dismantle an administrative system which took centuries to build and which contained a series of controls and balances, independent and controlling each other, copied by most democratic countries.

They achieved this by realising that after 19 years of successful Conservative government Socialism as such could never win again. They stole all the good ideas from the Conservative system and presented themselves to Middle Class Britain as the true heirs and successors of Thatcherism. They dropped all ideas of nationalisation, but worked out how the average citizen could be exploited less openly but much more effectively. Instead of the Unions they made friends with the CBI and kept to the Conservative market economy, so as not to frighten the hard working and enterprising middle class. But they never stopped to tax them more and more by stealth in small doses until they got used to it. From the ideology of social equality developed the ideology of power at any price.

The Conservative party, robbed of all its good ideas and checkmated, has nothing left with which to surprise and lure the electorate. It is now beginning to show a tendency to give up its traditional values and move to a "Central ground" where it hopes to convince Labour voters to follow them. That would be a catastrophe, as the whole political structure would then support a highly taxed, state controlled semi-socialism of the Swedish type.
 
According to estimates by the Conservatives it could take 10 years before traditional Conservatism comes to power again. It will be a hard Sysiphus type task and will require a lot of self-analysis, searching for hard traditional values, intensive education, finding new leaders and the ability to re-educate voters not to believe in promises what the state can do for them but the truth that the freedom and prosperity of a nation depends on the number of citizens prepared and able to accept the highest responsibility, so that only a minimum of dependent persons remains.

It could of course happen that the Labour Party, as so often before, comes to grief and bankrupt the country. It is of course highly possible but to rely on it would be dangerous.
