Robin McAlpine: The Centre is Broken – Control did the Breaking

November 4, 2020 Mathew D. Rose 0

The Extreme Centre goes from one fiasco to the next. Their raison d’être? At least we aren’t fascists or socialists. They have no programme except the propagation of their vacuous superiority. This is the liberal-democratic […]

Robin McAlpine: ‘Green New Deal’ and ‘Green Deal’ are Opposites – We have to Choose

May 20, 2020 Mathew D. Rose 0

My perennial criticism of the Left is that it manages to be correct on high-level principles but bad at actually fighting the fight. As chatter about ‘afterwards’ grows and grows, it is even more important […]

Robin McAlpine – Liberal Democracy has Failed because it has Abandoned Democracy

May 5, 2020 Mathew D. Rose 1

This has to be the best and most thorough micro-analysis of the failings of Liberal Democracy. Just replace Scotland with the name of your nation, do the same with the names, organisations, etc, substituting with […]
