I’ve spent the better part of a decade trying to trace the necessary changes to our government down to one starting point with enough impact to rally enough people to actually start the ball rolling.
If you look at how those buildings shape the arcane, opaque, combative, regressive processes that underpin our government… There is no other option, it has to go.
It would be nice to keep the buildings, and move the seat of government without such wanton destruction, they’d make an awesome museum, gallery, etc.
However, UKGov will never allow that to happen. They won’t even move temporarily, to allow an update to the buildings’ fire suppression system for example.
My issue is that it’s a heroic assumption that a society where we go and burn down the centres of our democracy is going to be improvement over today. These things don’t happen in a vacuum. I have plenty of things I’d change if I was in charge, but I also look around the world and I think Britain has a lot worth defending.
I really don’t think it is, actually.
