This is an excellent article from Ben. As a retired MP but someone who maintains an interest is politics and current affairs, it not only rang very true but provides insights for political parties, if they would only look beyond the circle of hell of those who are obsessed 24/7 with political minutiae and, as a consequence, mould most of their thinking!

And o agree that KS is trying, with some success, to do this….

I think this is an excellent piece.

It gave me a perhaps necessary slap round the face about how un-‘Normy’ I am & why my social life has declined since Brexit triggered me politically. 😀

I’m surprised political hobbyists don’t have constant headaches with all of the political drama! Interesting piece.

Ben, we are a group of groups of people who are trying to make people aware that if they vote progressively together, they can have more clout and win in the general election against the odds and overcome the First Past the Post system. Check out online at politicalprimary.org for more info. We would like to see if you would give us some input - we can be a conduit for your book, too!
