Taking the Party out of Politics
Andrew Brown

9 months ago

A podcast about understanding

  • how politics is supposed to work,
  • why it isn’t working as well as it should be,
  • and what we might be able to do about it. 

Because, by understanding a little bit more about how things are supposed to work, and why they are a bit messed up, we might be able to get things to work a bit better. Perhaps even a lot better.

Taking the Party out of Politics - Episode 16

Ministers have a lot of power, in a focused area, and can really affect our lives.

Ministers are Political Party creatures.

Ministers are mostly from 'safe seats', which means that they are actually 'selected' by the active members of their constituency Political Party.

Ministers (and most politicians) are from a particular 'class' of people, who are all able to cope with the hassle, the pressure, and with being part of the machinery of a Political Party.

The Media spotlight often pressures politicians to be perfect and consistent, rather than to think afresh if the situation changes, or to admit to an honest mistake.

Ministers have an average tenure of just 18 months. This is their chance. They're in a hurry!
