The rise of Postmodern Politics in Canada imagines a world where people are more connected to the system and exerting pressure on politicians to work together for the greater good of the people. The theory being a kind of trickle up effect from voters to their MP to the leadership, that's providing the leader actually listens or that MPs actually care about their constituents.
We just got some election literature from the Conservatives and their snappy campaign slogan is:
Stronger!
Safer!
Better!
And who doesn't want their country to be stronger, safer and better right? Who can argue with that?
They're a little vague on the details but heck it sounds good and that's all that matters.
Just a glimpse of what might have been... or could be...
Never say never.
Let's get our politicians working together on climate change!
