There is an old saying that people deserve their leaders.

I’m not so sure. I’ve been thinking a lot about this of late and ask what choices are we the people really given?

In the US, a “rematch” of old men … Oh goodie. Add to that a do-nothing US Congress filled with fools. Just think, in the real world, would a Schumer or McConnell survive long term? No, pure ineptitude would have seen them fired years ago.

In France, it’s always a ‘Le Pen’ against candidate A … and candidate A always wins due to fear mongering

In the UK, a revolving door of nobody Tories rather than new elections.

In Italy? The “anti-establishment” Meloni has broken most of her campaign promises.

The fact is, democracy in the West is in crisis … but not due to its people. Rather, deep state ghouls & entrenched interests warp / manipulate real choice.

It’s time for #WeThePeople to rise up and take back our government. Political leaders need to FEAR the people. It may be time to dust off our pitchforks…

Perhaps @georgegalloway’s election is the turning of the tide.

Pressure needs to be increased on our (mal)governments.

I don’t expect answers from Rishi Sunak Joe Biden Giorgia Meloni Emmanuel Macron etc. In a way, it’s simply not important as these “leaders” are mere stooges to the real power structures.

But these ‘real power structures’ only work in the dark … and they, too, fear #WeThePeople
