Description
This article looks at some factors that have contributed to the decline of Parliament including the gradual loss of relevance of politics generally and the tendency of the executive branch to function as if Parliament did not exist. The author puts forth a few suggestions that might lead to a reversal of the decline. Audiences are always taken aback when I remind them that Aristotle located politics at the very tip of the moral pyramid. Why have we come to consider the political order as amoral, if not immoral, or quite simply, as a necessary evil? Of course we can always blame politicians themselves, as their behaviour is far from always exemplary. However, that is a facile reflex which will not take us very far. First of all, we have elected those politicians and we must acknowledge that they have never tried harder to please us than in our time. That may even be a part of the problem. They are trying too hard to please us, to meet our most superficial, materialistic and least noble requirements. In the purest market economy style, they give us, or rather they try to give us, that which meets our least well thought-out appetites for well-being.
