The outcome of the election is very disappointing but predictable.  It’s not just that those with far too much influence will continue to plunder the lives of everyone else, we may be wrenched from the civilizing influences of the EU and the UK.  As far as I’m concerned team Heath made the right choice taking us into the common market but it should remain a relationship of business for a long time to come: thacting on political union is very dangerous.  I worry that Tory MPs and their supporters, driven to forcing another EU referendum by their post-colonial, de-civilizing idealism, will form alliances with the growing number of people in England whose nationalist feelings of resentment have already stirred them to vote UKIP, to contract the dangerous idealistic disease of ‘freedom fever’ as is the case with many in Scotland.  Team Sturgeon will take a mandate from their almost wipe-out election victory to try and force another Scottish referendum, which, in the present climate, is very likely to succeed.  Wake up team Labour from your socialist nightmare.  Wake up team Labour and engineer a set of policies to stop these regressive, de-civilizing steps that will correspond with further decline in most British people’s influence.  The future is business, the future is partnership, the future is about better engagement with comparatively uncertain reality, a future of more engineering and less idealism.  Stop betraying the people who need you, many of whom have voted Tory as the less bad option.  However, it may be too late!
