With academia and the media urging both to a self-abnegating consensus, the normally robust democratic semi-chaos can be gelled into passivity. This is occurring in Europe, Britain, and America, at different rates, despite the inflammation resulting from the invasion and assaults of hoards of malignant parasites. In Europe the military immune system has been subverted and compromised into near uselessness. Britain and Canada, not so much, and America rather less. Wherein lies the remaining hope of survival. IMO. I agree, but there’s a high level of mutual influence and interaction, of course, between governing and governed.

As to the weakness in our system of government, yep, and this is depressing, except that your point may go more to the weakness in the understanding and will of the population (center of gravity of our value system) than in the specific person in charge at the moment.

Something of a lesson there, too, in that it shows even the oldest and most stable Western governments and systems are seriously dependent on having the right individuals in charge. And Goofy Gordie is not that. Seems that with Blair gone, the British have gone seriously wobbly.
