In our Gentilic Society we have many options. Outlined above, we have the means – without seeking permission – to form our own parallel Government. But alongside this strategy and at the same time, we also have also acquired the means to form a Government within this existing system, exactly as it stands at the moment. We form a Political Party that is of an Other Nature from existing providers. I will call this Party the Progressive Party.
So how is the Progressive Party different in its very nature? Again, we can take a look back into the rules of the ancient tribes and see how they went about organizing government. This is directly transferable to today. The Chief, or Sachem, or as we have it today, the prospective Member of Parliament, would be chosen by the Tribe as being the most decent, honest, honourable person of their number. But unlike other Political Parties, this person, let’s say female, is inextricably bound up in her membership. The members are not in any metaphorical sense, her family, they ARE her family.
An MP from one of the existing Parties may have their head turned by their Great Leader to vote against the interests of their constituents. After all, they may have been voted in by this enormous bunch of nameless strangers, but how much does every single one of those strangers actually mean to this MP? Now imagine how likely it is that our Progressive Party MP will have her head turned.
Two things militate against this occurring. Firstly, given the bond of family that exists, how likely is she to vote against the interests of her own family? If she did so, she returns at night to her home to face the wrath of her sisters, her brothers, her Mother, her cousins.
And then secondly, the Tribe have the ability to immediately depose her as someone who is clearly no longer trustworthy. Finally we have real accountability. Imagine how likely it is that our Progressive MP is to vote for a massive hike in her own wages? It happens all the time at the moment, with a gasp and a sigh from the Public, but ultimately with virtual impunity.
Now let us examine the strength of this new Movement. The Labour Party has roughly half a million members, the Conservatives less than half this number. I have no idea whether this proposal will gain traction in the coming years, but if it does, then in a single region of the UK, a single Tribe may have more than half a million members, bound by blood in the Gen, and by honour and close, overlapping associations in the Phratry. From such a large membership, it is not difficult to see how the active members who choose to participate in the Political Party can very easily outnumber the activists in other Parties, both in numbers and commitment. As soon as the Political Party arises from the Tribe, Power starts to become apparent, imminent and, by virtue of numbers and close ties amongst them, almost inevitable.
As soon as Power is achieved, the proposal outlined in the previous chapter becomes immediately achievable. On Day one, the Progressive Party can bring Legislation before Parliament to decree that everyone has the Government that they vote for. And from this day on, the only people who live under the tyranny of their Government will be the ones who actually vote for it, not the rest of us formerly helpless souls, generally the poor.
