I have to say that the older I get, the more impatient I get with political ideologies - of both Right and Left. Well, actually, I despise Right-wing ideology because its usually just greed, selfishness, self-interest, xenophobia and snobbery dressed up as politics. Nevertheless, existing political ideologies seem to me to belong to the 19th century - and we desperately need a politics for the 21st century. Such a politics would have to be evidence-based. You only have to look at the dreadful shambles in the Middle East, and the current refugee crisis, to realise what an absolute shambles our reactive, 'gut instinct', ideology-driven politicians are currently making of the world. Basically, our 'civilisation' is heading for imminent environmental melt-down and contemporary politicians are only now dimly aware that the environment exists - not good enough!!
