Summer time Reflections

Many colleagues are on holiday at this time, and others about to go. So apart from the feeding frenzy that is the media turning on itself, and the rare opportunity for politicians to take the moral high ground, all is relatively quiet. A perfect time to reflect on some of the failings of all Governments around the world, and to consider how once refreshed all of us might take a humbler view of what is required to improve the quality of life for our ourselves, imediate family and friends, and the wider community.

The fundamental challenges are not going way, indeed they will intensify. However a measured, calm response is needed. One that is inclusive and devoid of the very unimpressive tribal politics of old which seem only to impress the diminishing band of political junkies. Indeed the state of the world is simply too much for any overt political solution, and society at large has to act collectively in ways it has not done since the advent of the modern political party.
