Jesus I don't mean I agree with it or it's a good thing or how it ought to be! Nor am I a marxist and certainly not a corbynist. Nor do I think people don't have free will, of course they do. They choose to vote for people who they can see are out of touch with them, corrupt and dishonest. I am pondering why that actually does not matter at all to a great many people, when those candidates are rich tories.
I don't know if it is the case that people have some kind of tolerance for rich upper class leaders, I think it's a possibility on a sociological level. I said " It's as if" - that that is how it looks.
Class hierarchy, feudal systems, ingrained inequality, inherited power and acceptance of allocated roles have a much longer history than democracy and socialism. That is not to say they are a good approach, just that maybe there is something in the nature of human society that accepts it.
After all people idolise rich footballers, pop stars and royals without minding unfairness. My point is that unfairness, dishonesty, being rich and out of touch etc is not the problem for politicians, that some politicians seem to think it is.
You might not like it but if that's not the case, why is it that people don't mind? I'm not adhering to a view, I'm just wondering what's behind this obvious phenomenon.
