Day 242: Resignation

Dinner Menu:

  • Osso Bucco et sauce tomate aux champignons
  • Spaghetti
  • Fromage
  • Carré de chocolat noir
In France the Gilets Jaunes are asking for Macron to resign in the UK most MPs and Journalists feel that Theresa May will lose her vote in Parliament which mean she would be under pressure to resign.  In both cases this is missing the point neither Macron nor May's resignation would change anything.  The alternatives in the UK or in France are either as unappealing or worse.  A change of leader or of political party would not make any meaningful difference in either country as far as I can tell.   Both countries are facing their own version of a crisis in representative democracy and a solution needs to include a transformation of the system.  Considering the failure of our professional politicians lets start by moving to part time volunteers, I don't see any down sides.
