Great article, Mark. Thanks. I don't think going back to the cabinet will do it. They don't work for us, don't think they ever have. We're the livestock as you succinctly point out.
Thanks Adam. Prof David Starkey is very good on the history of how the Blair regime dissolved cabinet government and by extension Britain's long tradition of representative democracy. When everything is outsourced to unaccountable quangos there is no coherence to policy. No one individual is to blame, but the system needs a reset otherwise any well meaning initiatives will fail.
As to the Merchant Adventurers, their policies on plantation crops and rent extraction are of course at the heart of the Washington Consensus model of economic development that the US exported to the world post WW2. The rest of the world is starting to have its own Thanksgiving by rejecting that model just as the Pilgrims did...
