This evening, I look at the state of British politics and why it remains in a state of "feudalism" where party politics takes precedence over the interests of both the nation and its citizens. Will the nation ever be truly united or will feudalism always be the order of business? Leave your comments below.

The most recent election provides a perfect example of the nature of British politics at its most basic level. Kravenn, the former Minister of Defense, was fighting against Dishmcds, former Country President. The election was largely tipped to be a close one, especially given that there was major criticisms of the structuring of the United Kingdom Armed Forces dismantlement in its final days. The opposite view was that Dishmcds has largely become inactive and that he had previously run as a joke candidate.

Ultimately, Kravenn won the election with a staggering majority that accumulated to over one hundred votes. The simplest explanation for this could be the number of active citizens in The Unity Party versus the number of active citizens in United Kingdom Reform Party. Even with the support of Every Single One, it wasn't enough to secure victory for Dishmcds. With articles coming out during the election notably trolling Kravenn for his communication skills and his difficulty with the English language, it became a poor show for British politics.

In a rare moment, the United Kingdom Progression Party was entirely correct when they stated that "No unity candidate" stood. Neither Dishmcds nor Kravenn necessarily had the "pulling power" to attract the nation to lift up in a chorus of defiance and state to our enemies "This is where we make our stand!". Arguably, this is due to the limitations on our own country president candidates. We have a limited field of choice and, given the options, Kravenn may have been the lesser of two evils for some voters.

Nevertheless, this election was poignant because it revealed to me the very core of British politics - that the two major parties remain locked in antlers and feel bound by duty and by their members to run a country president candidate, irrespective of the existing field. Whether we truly have a candidate that could have united the nation is subject to debate, it is the principle that underlines this nation. There will come in a time in British history where we stand together and say that we have to change our perspective.

Both The Unity Party and United Kingdom Reform Party have fallen victim to the same disease - the disease of introversion. By shifting from a local (or party-defined) approach to a national approach, the nation might very well come to realise that the party is largely irrelevant as a concept. It is the critical assessment of the government that is important and a party does not have to exist for this to be the case. The major parties have all played their part in British history, building the foundation for this nation and creating what it is today.

Now, more than ever, we must look at who we are and what we are and ask ourselves "Is this truly what we want to be remembered for?". Now, more than ever, it is time for us to accept that we are not the largest country, we are not the strongest country but our very name tells us what we should be - United
