Nothing Doing...

Meanwhile, here in Britain, government seems to be running on autopilot. When she first came in Theresa May was all about dissing David Cameron and George Osborne and smashing their legacy, but now she's carrying on where they left off, waving through their projects- HSR2, Hinkley Point etc- because, I suppose, she can't stand the pressure from the people who hope to profit from them.  As for Brexit, there's no plan and the ruling class is as fractured as it ever was. This is disappointing. On the other hand- bearing in mind the political drama unfolding elsewhere- it may not be such a bad thing.

Yes, but...

...I think we need new political categories. Left and right worked well in the context of an industrial society, but less well in a post-industrial one.
