The drive towards the unattainable
Today’s Tories should learn from Thatcher’s optimism
When Nigel Farage announced earlier this week that he had changed his mind and would offer himself as a candidate for Parliament, he described the election campaign so far as ‘boring’. Many would disagree: from the Biblical weather of the Prime Minister’s announcement, through national service and Keir Starmer’s renewed enthusiasm for nuclear weapons, to a purge of left-wing candidates in the Labour Party, there has been plenty to hold the public’s interest. It has, however, been depressing and dispiriting.
The Opposition is bound to dwell on the negative. It is a fundamental element of the challenger’s playbook that the nation is in a terrible state and the government should be held to blame. The answer, in Starmer’s mind, is that it’s time for a change.
The whole piece is well worth reading as a reminder that any political outlook has to be ‘for’ something rather than merely against what we have now. This is Starmer’s weakness, he is not clearly ‘for’ anything other than spending more of your money. Even if he is ‘for’ something else, he won’t be tomorrow. The Tories are much the same.
Perhaps this is where the problem lies. It is not possible to be optimistic about a drive towards the unattainable. Whatever the rhetoric, nobody believes it. I don’t think many people were enthused about Harold Wilson’s ‘white heat’ of technology in 1964, but the development of new technology is at least attainable.
