Edwards, M.D.

It is now time for a CENTRE-LEFT COALITION Government in Britain.

1,000,000+ people to vote AGAINST New Labour, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and British National Party - and vote FOR independents and members of socially and environmentally harmonious so-called 'minor' parties

In the ancient book of Chinese wisdom, the "Tao de Ching", it is said that victory must be celebrated as a defeat.

Victory at the General Election, when power is placed back in the hands of the demos ('the people' in ancient Greek), will be a profound defeat.

It will be a defeat for all those people who have believed in Centre-Left ideas and principles and who have endured the multiple miseries of the period from 1979 to 2009. New Labour was the extension of the authoritarian-Right Thatcherite revolution to its absolutely illogical conclusion. The absolutely illogical conclusion of that revolution, underpinned by structural transformations such as the 1986 Big Bang or the foundation of the 1997 tripartite 'regulatory' system, was the short-termist and myopic wastage of North Sea oil reserves on ever more ludicrous bubbles and manias. That revolution is now merely a series of painful footnotes in history books.

Victory will be a defeat because for the alignment that is elected cleaning up the Augean stables will be a Herculean task. The next administration in Britain will gain Parliamentary majorities but will certainly lose the election: gaining a majority of seats, forging a coalition of people interested in operating together in concert and harmony despite the myriad challenges ahead, will be a gargantuan and leviathan (though not necessarily in a Hobbesian sense) responsibility. That responsibility will not be leavened by an abundance of underlying resources, tied as they are to the real economic substructure - our local and global environment. Resource depletion on an epic scale, presenting the ever more rapid spectre of ecocide, has left us impoverished in all kinds of important senses. The illogical endpoint of the Thatcherite revolution - that the rewards of moral hazard banking should be privatised and the risks be nationalised or socialised - was the final indignity. Those who voiced concerns or opposition throughout that dismal period were policed ever more assiduously by perhaps the most effective mechanism of repression ever devised (even more efficient than any technique of torture ever devised) - the removal of what Margaret Thatcher called the 'oxygen of publicity'. There were Cassandras on every street corner during the bubble (which was a bubble, and never a boom, because it was divorced from fundamentals and therefore as real as a mirage). The tragedy of that period was that the Cassandras in all their forms were muffled and muted.

The weight on the shoulders of the next government in Britain will be of truly Atlas proportions.

Shall we shrug, as Ayn Rand would have had it?

Or shall we rebuild after the orgies, bacchanlias, revels, and delusions of the quasi-religion of market fundamentalism?

The task ahead is, at least, increasingly obvious to the populace, though there is a certain time-lag between consciousness of underlying socio-economic transition and the transition itself. From at least August 2007 onwards we have been living in a different era in the history of our society and our planet.

It is now time to get on with the work.

There should be no further delay, as time is of the quintessence.

The opportunity has arisen for a revivified society through legislation as profound as the Great Reform Acts of 1832, 1867, 1884 or 1918, or of a new reformist agenda as bold and courageous as 1945.

Just as in 1945, there are perhaps several people out there who are decent, kind, wise, sensible, intelligent, talented people who understand their local areas and how to serve them but who barely realise that they are charged with the great responsibility of public service.

They are needed in their droves.

The floodgates must be opened at once. It is time for a landslide - a landslide that does not merely reject the ancien regime (the three rightwing parties of New Labour, Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats and the British National Party that have proliferated as a result of the vacuum created by the absence of proper democracy for several years), but also one that raises the banners and flags for a new era of reconstruction, regulation and radical reform.

Let's prepare for victory, and if it comes, celebrate it like a defeat, with the full knowledge that we have a sober time ahead of us cleaning up the mess of the years of intoxication.

Whether independents or members of parties currently dismissed as 'minor', this coalition must be formed out of views and perspectives as beautifully variegated as the colours of the rainbow.

Somewhere, we are now over it.

The British Parliamentary Candidate Chess Olympiad

The British Parliamentary Candidate Chess Olympiad Facebook group

It is not quite of the order of Jonathan Swift's "Modest Proposal", but I have a modest proposal.

It is that at the forthcoming British General Election there is a public chess tournament in each constituency between all of the candidates.

In each constituency, each candidate would play each other once in a round robin tournament in public, face to face play.

Although electors should obviously base their decisions on policies, it might be interesting to see how each candidate expresses themselves on the board as well.

There are many stories concerning the origins of chess but the one I like best (whether apocryphal or not) is a hymn to democracy trouncing despotism through non-violent intelligence.  The narrative runs that there was once a Brahmin called Sissa who invented the game in order to teach a monarchical tyrant that he could not rule without the consent of his people (the King in chess is a relatively handicapped player in terms of movement who has to be defended by others).  When the kakistocrat asked Sissa what he wanted in return, he requested simply a grain of rice on the first square, two on the second, four on the third, eight on the fourth, and so on.  The autocrat laughed at the humility of the request - why not a panoply of golden braid and golden chariots?  The martinet had not, however, realised that the total number of grains of rice on the chess board would amount to 18,445,744,073,709,551,515.

Benjamin Franklin's reflections on chess and politics are here. 

Garry Kasparov's views on how life imitiates chess are here.

FOR THE LOVE OF DOG: Damien Hirst Providing The People of Vauxhall With £1 million Would Be Lovely

Damien Hirst providing the people of Vauxhall with £1 million would be lovely

ART NEWSPAPER: "In the Frame"

Damien Hirst's workshop "Science" is in the constituency of Vauxhall.  I have made a very poor piece of A4 artwork called "For the Love of Dog" which I would like to offer him for £1,000,000 with the proviso that every penny will go into a microcredit scheme in the loca areal to provide small loans to people with good ideas to set up sustainable enterprises that provide long-term employment for the people of Vauxhall.

The picture above is an image of Frans Hals's "Laughing Cavalier".  As Rene Magritte had it ("Ceci n'est pas une pipe") it is not, however, the same thing as the original painting.  Perhaps an obvious point, but one with enormous consequences, which Walter Benjamin explored in the "Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" and John Berger in "Ways of Seeing".

VoX WeB: Proposal for a not-for-profit, decentralised learning web in Vauxhall, south London

COMMUNIQUE FROM TOAD OF VOX HALL

Please come to Vauxhall.  Please help create the Vauxhall Renaissance.   There is a lot of work to do.  There is a lot of litter on the streets and empty and abandoned buildings.  There are several people without homes and several people waiting for homes.  Yesterday when I tried to use a public lavatory I inserted 10p and it ate my 10p without letting me into the lavatory.  There are, therefore, plenty of local problems to solve along with the mountainous national and international ones.

There are in Vox Hall, on the other hand, some wonderful people from variegated backgrounds, extraordinary independent shops, petanque circles, streets paved with gold leaf, emporia, galleries, chess networks, museums, railway stations, theatres, comedia del arte comissariats, cinemas, guitar hero academias, hotels, hostels, boarding-houses, rooted and greenshooted jardineries, markets, street performers, cyber rabbit warrens, tumbledown and tumbleup houses, architectural oddities, parks, libraries, eccentricities, notes and queries and street mosaics.  And, of course, some incredibly deep history - as deep as the marshes that give Lower Marsh Street its name (a street festooned with everything from William Prophet's furniture to the remarkable and beautifully titled Secondhand Bookshop; from the Scooterworks Cafe to the new Environmental Charity Shop; from Marie's Cafe to the Inshoku Japanese restaurant; from Radio Days to the new Greensmiths minisupermarket; from I Knit London to Cooper's Natural Foods; from the Waterloo Library to Cubana; from Christian Aid to Solar Century; from street marketeers to the Waterloo Health Centre which should not be pillaged into becoming a polyclinic but is fine just as it is; and from the Top Wind flute-ologists to the brilliantly and bathetically titled Olympic Sandwich).

Please come and join us and help us build a beautiful area over the forthcoming decades where the uniqueness of individuals and the importance of community are the most vital values along with mutual respect, co-operation, generosity, kindness, integrity, decency, peace, democracy and creativity - and where we also design a local economy that protects people against unregualted corporatocracy and its various serfdoms and against the brutalising vicissitudes of its unstable and bipolar economic cycles.

WELCOME IN.  WE WILL TAKE YOUR SHOES, COAT, AND HAT.  PLEASE TAKE A SEAT.  MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.  DID YOU HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY?  WOULD YOU LIKE SOMETHING TO EAT OR DRINK? 

DEPENDING ON THE HOURS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO CREATE, DESIGN AND RUN ONE OF OUR MANY DELIGHTFUL CHAPEAU SHOPS AND WORKERS' CO-OPERATIVES?

ONE FORMULA. MANY MANIFESTATIONS. CLEAN SLATE. WHITE/BLACK FLAGS FOR PEACE AND DEMOCRACY IN BRITAIN.

When I made music with friends a few years ago, we developed a system called the 'white flag' to minimise conflict.  If there was a disagreement and one of us was stubbornly and obstinately clinging to a particular argument rather than accepting that their argument was flawed, all they needed to do was say the magic words 'white flag'.  Everyone would then understand that the argument had ended.

Image on left: Chequered Flag Trucker Hat by Funkart

Here in Britain, our soldiers were sent into Iraq and Afghanistan illegally on the basis of a tapestry of lies.  Craig Murray, who I would like to see as our Foreign Minister, calls it Britannia Mentrix, Britannia the Liar.  They need to come home now.

White flags denote our demand for immediate peace and democracy.  Black flags denote our respect to all those slaughtered in the so-called 'War on Terror" which was, of course, a war of error.  Flags composed of both white and black denote our demand for immediate peace and democracy, our respect to all those slaughtered in the so-called "War on Terror", and our recognition that the Britain that we love is one where people of all skin colours are welcome without any form of discrimination whatsoever.  Our clothing and ideas should be as multi-coloured and as unique as each of our individual minds (please see below, the Multi-Coloured Revolution) but our flags should be yin and yang coloured to show that we are returning to fundamentals in our land rather than deceptions.

We should reclaim the streets of our land, one by one, in peaceful fashion.  We should dress and express ourselves as colourfully as possible.  We should hold aloft white flags, black flags, and white and black flags to show that the slate has now been wiped clean.  We should surround this false Parliament in ever greater numbers, and entirely peacefully, until a General Election is forced.

It is time for a General Election.  It is time for a People's Parliament.  It is time for a Britannia of truth and integrity.  And a Britannia of Pax.

DEMOCRACY IN RAINBOWS: the MULTI-COLOURED REVOLUTION. Why be MONO when we can be POLY?

THE MULTI-COLOURED REVOLUTION

DEMOCRACY = DIVERSITY = DIVERSE CITIES

Let's outdo, trounce, trump, outclass, exceed, overwhelm, cream,transcend and wipe the floor with the concept of a colour-coded revolution by creating the MULTI-COLOURED REVOLUTION.

RAINBOW RE:EVOLUTION.  POLYCHROME.  VARICOLOURED.  PARTICOLOURED.  PIEBALD.  CALICO.  MOTLEY.  HETEROGENEOUS.  TECHNICOLOUR.

Wristbands, armbands, fluorescent glow sticks and luminescent badges, flags draped from windows, dyed hair, harlequin clothing crafted out of multi-coloured shreds and patches, chalked streets, mutli-coloured helium balloons, painted heads and painted faces, peace hachimakis, bracelets, street mosaics and cybermosaics, street carnivals and hats hats hats...all denote that we are fed up with the status quo and demand an immediate and peaceful democracy in Britain.

NEW ERA. GOODBYE NEW LABOUR. DEMOCRACY IN BRITAIN, NOT KLEPTOCRATIC KAKISTOCRACY.

(Image on right by Phil Scroggs for UCLA)

Rather than an overwhelmingly (Authoritarian) Right wing Parliament, it is high time for a more balanced system and a real democracy in Britain.  That must come at the next General Election.

The following two diagrams are from the pioneering Political Compass analysis.

The first diagram is an attempt to map the current topography of the political landscape using the visionary four way axis analysis of the traditional Left and Right along with a new vertical axis of Authoritarian and Libertarian.  Unfortunately it is only limited to a small selection of parties and does not contain the broad policy positions of independents.  The second diagram attempts to dispaly the general tendency of the New Labour era and the resultant imbalance in our system.

Ideally, I would like to see an augmented Political Compass involving other (Libertarian) Left parties and independents.  At the polls, the more alliances between them, the better.  Together, we can create a landslide of the magnitude, though not exactly the same kind, as 1945.  The challenges we face are mountainous.   All hands are needed at the pumps.

 

LET'S SHAKE(speare) UP BRITISH POLITICS: MILLION PIXELS, MILLION FACES, MILLION MICROFINANCE/MICROCREDIT POUNDS, MILLION + VOTES

TIGANA'S PROPOSAL FOR A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT AND FOR GENUINE SUSTAINABLE GRASSROOTS EMPLOYMENT: SMALL TEAM AND CONTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED

from the Facebook group 1,000,000 PEOPLE TO VOTE AGAINST NEW LABOUR, CONSERVATIVES, LIB DEMS + BNP

Many many many millions of thanks to Canadian artist extraordinaire TIGANA for coming up with a splendid idea: a million face website for all those people who are not going to support the dominant right-wing 'consensus' in Britain held by the three mainstream parties (New Labour/Conservative/Libera

l Democrat) and who are equally not going to support the racist British National Party (BNP). The million face mosaic would be dedicated to everybody who is planning to vote for or stand as independent candidates and candidates from currently marginalised parties that are environmentally, socially, financially and economically harmonious and that promote democracy, justice and peace.

This would be a variant on the relatively recent development of the cybermosaic, first pioneered by Alex Tew with the Million Dollar Homepage ( http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com ) and then adapted for other purposes, such as in the Million Campaign Homepage ( http://www.millioncampaignhomepage.net ). There is a Wikipedia entry on the short history of the cybermosaic form here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybermosaic

The proposal for this cybermosaic could be based on a similar system: each person who wishes for positive change could send in a photograph with a nominal donation, eg £1/£10 per person. Effectively, they would then become a socially ethical shareholder of the site as a whole and could be given voting rights on what the total amount gained would be used for. Along with that ethical shareholdership, each person would effectively own 1 pixel of the 1 million pixels of the site as a whole. If each person contributed £1 and the site were composed of 1 million pixels, that would garner a total of £1 million. A certain amount would need to be given to those who design, orchestrate and administer the site as a salary for their work. The remainder could be put into a fund which could run microfinance/microcredit schemes that benefit local communities and the wider world and which provide genuine, non-exploitative, sustainable employment. In effect, it could be used to help launch a kind of British equivalent of the Bangladeshi Grameen Bank set up by Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus. This could then fund small, sustainab le grass-roots projects that could be decided and voted on by the ethical shareholders in the site. Those projects could be everything from worker co-operative cafes to a sustainable/renewable Shakespeare Centre in central London dedicated to 21st century Renaissance drama, theatre, linguistics, and so on, all with solar power, hemp bags, green roofs, et cetera. Beyond (wo)manpower and resources, the sky, as well as our imaginations, are our limit.

http://www.grameen-info.org/
http://shakespeare.mit.edu/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfinance
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcredit

Initially it might be best to put together a small team of people to run this project as soon as possible and get cracking on it. Since it was Tigana Too's idea, and if she is interested, she could be in charge of the aesthetics of the site. Somebody would be needed to orchestrate the site in terms of web design, while somebody else would be needed to receive emails, and another person might be needed for publicity. There is obviously no fixed number of people but a small team working over the internet and in communication through social networking sites and Skype etc. would be able to put the site together. Out of the money received, they would obviously receive a proportion as a salary for the work involved. There are obviously all sorts of other decisions that could be made: the site could be made as a one-off, or it could be created on the basis of yearly contributions. Obviously those decisions could be democratically decided by the team and the people who become ethical shareholders of the site as a whole.

As well as the cybermosaics listed above, campaign groups such as Amnesty International have also used the million faces technique as part of existing campaigns. What would work particularly well in this instance, if it could be created, would be a system where each pixel can be clicked on and expanded, leading to the photograph or website/weblog of the person who bought the pixel in question.

The idea being put forward is one of the unorthodox and creative tactics and strategies that we in the real opposition in Britain have been working on (often unpaid, and often very fruitlessly indeed) to counter the catastrophe in our political system, a system which is unreformed (and based on a neanderthal first-past-the-post model) and increasingly unrepresentative.

We are heavily indebted to the Political Compass team in expanding our consciousness of political positions and policy platforms both by parties and by individuals. They have created a visionary new way of exploring politics by adding an extra polarity of Authoritarian-Libertarian to the traditional Left-Right distinction that emerged in the French Revolutionary period and which was championed in Britain in the writings of Woking's favourite literary son H.G.Wells. Their analysis has helped us understand the catastrophe that has occured and understand how we can collectively extricate ourselves from this mess. The main Political Compass website can be found here:

http://www.politicalcompass.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._G._Wells

The main Political Compass analysis of contemporary British politics can be found here:

http://www.politicalcompass.org/extremeright

The four-way structure of the Political Compass analysis shows graphically and clearly what a tragedy and catastrophe has occured not only in British politics but also in global political systems, particularly over the past thirty to forty year period with the domination of the deregulated model of economic, social and political organisation variously described as neoliberalism, globalisation, the Washington Consensus, and so on.  That period effectively ended with the collapse of the largely illusory derivatives-based turbo economy in August 2007, and was a thirty to forty year period that placed the planet in ever greater peril as a result of unsustainable, reckless, short-termist plundering of resources for ever more rapacious short-term private profit.

That three to four decade long process has witnessed the widespread domination of Right wing governments and policies, and in particular Authoritarian-Right policies and positions. In Britain, as the Political Compass analysis shows starkly, the period after May 1979 has seen the entrenchment of a Thatcherite model which is fundamentally Authoritarian-Right. New Labour has been, effectively, and with merely a few exceptions in terms of policy, the extension of that Thatcherite system to its absolute ends. This has been a profound tragedy for democracy: we are repeatedly informed that our choice is between a New Labour system and a supposed Conservative opposition which are offering fundamentally the same essence though garbed in marginally different garments. The so-called 'third party', the Liberal Democrats, offer a fundamentally Right alternative, with a slightly modified social policy and a more heightened concern for civil liberties. Yet nothing changes the fundamental point that our basic choice is not a choice at all. For anybody on the Left of the political spectrum, and in particular those on the Libertarian Left, this period of time has been agonising, repressive, depressing, stultifying, tyrannical and coercive. Those of us who believe in fundamental alternatives have been starved of the oxygen of publicity. The result has been collapsing voting numbers and collapsing public confidence and trust in the entire parliamentary system. Unfortunately, in such circumstances of crisis, racist organisations such as the British National Party have been allowed to opportunistically offer certain social policies that are attractive to the marginalised and the under-privileged, though all with the bitter pill of a xenophobic racism thrown into the mix.

The New Labour Policy Watch by Rob Wall also shines an illuminating light upon the tragedy that has occured by examining in forensic detail the way in which the 1997 New Labour manifesto was not enacted in reality; instead of it the Authoritarian-Right Thatcherite model was pushed, ad absurdum and ad nauseam, despite repeated protestations from the population that it was not the direction in which we wished to travel:

http://www.labourpolicywatch.co.uk/

There are, therefore, entire strata of society today whose wishes, hopes, dreams, ideas, expectations, aspirations, thoughts, suggestions, recommendations, wisdom, experience, judgment, and brainwaves are not being incorporated into decision-making, policy-making, or the way in which our taxation is apportioned. The only possible peaceful solution to such a malaise is fundamental reform and a total transition in our political system. We have a million million million ideas on how to organise our affairs in a way which is more harmonious and sustainable, and it is time that we had the chance to do so. In a time of environmental crisis, we owe it to our descendents to pull the rabbits out of the hats.

The visionary nature of the new analysis is inspirational: the four way system of the Political Compass research in some senses replicates in political analysis the double helix structure of DNA explored and discovered by scientists from Miescher to Franklin, Crick to Watson. In some ways it can also be seen to replicate the patterns in an ancient system such as the Chinese I Ching, which is based on yin and yang lines as well as changing yin and yang lines in a network of codes that helps shed light upon changes in public life and in the dynamic processes that underwrite those changes.

Together, using social networking sites and cybermosaics, we can remix our politics - for the commons good.
