If I designed a UK government very few of the ministers (if any) would be politicians. I would put together a group of acknowledged ‘experts’ who were at the top of their particular areas of ‘expertise’ and pay them salaries commensurate with their high level of experience and abilities. They would be answerable to a voluntary panel of “the great and the good”, people who have demonstrated by their actions over an extended period of time that they have the best interests of the people of the UK as their top priority.
I would love to see a genuinely united effort to do the very best for all of us together, rather than continue with the destructive and divisive two party political system …. No more childish name calling based on whether you’re in the ‘Blue or Red’ party.
Would it work? Or am I being naive believing in the best of people?
