Dominic Cummins has been quiet recently, and now we find out why.
He once famously indicated that the Civil Service would need some hard rain post Brexit, but he left the government before this could come about.
Now he has come out with his proposals, we find that some of his analysis is not too contentious
"America needs a government that controls the government, as it did under FDR and Lincoln, and shatters the party structure which is a plague"
Who would have thought it?
His solution (probably rightly in my jaundiced view) rests on the proposition that when the system is corrupted it's time to stop trying to work within the system to reform it - it's time to tear it down and rebuild it differently.
However, his solutions for rebuilding seem to have a tiny defect - he appears to have written "we the people" out of the script - except as voting fodder. We must be persuaded or manipulated to vote for the change even if we don't understand it. There's an honest way and a dishonest way to do this.
Not only that, he appears to think that Silicon Valley (you know, the mob who have so far chosen to censor anything the Democrats didn't like and drive a coach and horses through all democratic values of freedom choice and personal independence) is the appropriate vehicle to lead the change! To whom does he think Silicon Valley answers?
Does he view the problem as the clash between the top-down government of the elite by the political parties for the parties' paymasters that we have traditionally suffered, and the bottom up government of the people by the people and for the people?
My reading is that he hasn't made that leap yet, although many of his points are individually sound. His recipe looks to be leading up to the "Build Back Better" of the technocratic elite rather than toward a government of by and for "we the people".
