The death of politics

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Derrick Berthelsen has a useful Critic piece which represents our failing political system as an example of failing homeostasis. It’s a useful way to express the familiar problem of elites failing to understand the importance of feedback between their class and the rest of society.

Homeostasis and the death of politics

Ignore feedback mechanisms at your peril

Homeostasis, according to Britannica, is “any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability whilst adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival”.

Whilst stability appears to be a steady state, in reality it is anything but: “the stability attained is actually a dynamic equilibrium, in which continuous change occurs yet relatively uniform conditions prevail.”

How does the system know what and where to change, in order to reach and maintain homeostasis? “Any system in dynamic equilibrium tends to reach a steady state, a balance that resists outside forces of change. When such a system is disturbed, built-in regulatory devices respond to the departures to establish a new balance; such a process is one of feedback control.”

The whole piece is well worth reading as a reminder of how out of touch our MPs are. For example -

According to Parliament, today only three per cent of MPs in the House of Commons have any experience of blue-collar work. In numerical terms, the number of MPs who had working class jobs before entering politics can today be counted on two hands, whilst conversely nearly one in five MPs have only ever worked in politics straight from University.

And this reminder that both major UK political parties are relatively uniform in their make-up.

As Professor David Runciman explained it in his piece “The key flaw in our democracy: MPs don’t represent the people”:

This points to the need for a more profound reform of how parliament represents the people. The problem goes deeper than partisan divides: neither of the main parties is able to bridge wider social divisions because both parties are relatively uniform in their make-up

    • Fake News = The False Prophet

      I saw a line somewhere yesterday that went something like:

      They try to convince you that it’s left versus right when the truth is it has always been the top versus the bottom.

      ‘Politics’ is just another performance of bullshit for you to believe in and them to take advantage of everyone’s gullibility.

      ‘The Law’ is another one.

      They have built an edifice of lies in people’s minds. Many still believe them. Many cannot see past them.
