New Coalition Government of the UK

Personally, I did not particularly like the Conservatives, and especially the Conservative leader David Cameron. He seemed over zealous, over competitive and someone who says one thing but believes something else.

But, as soon as I heard he has now become our Prime Minister, I set aside all my judgements, just perhaps as David Cameron had to set aside some judgements about Nick Clegg. I feel strongly that we must respect our Government leaders if we expect them to give us respect back. We should think more like a soldier. As soon as someone is given legitimate power, we should accept it, side aside our own judgements and serve them.

Also, I think its very interesting what has happened in the UK. The new coalition government between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats is an exciting beginning to a new paradigm in politics. In a way, both leaders have had to give up their egos, to come together and serve the country's best interests. Humility and trust has had to become the basis of the new government. Such values within the government I hope will grow over the next 5 years and filter down to all aspects of the government and the country. A transformation in the government will therefore cause a transformation in our country.

And since each country has a huge impact on the rest of the world, as we have seen with the cascading credit crisis, so will the UK's transformation positively impact other countries and challenge the integrity of their governments. Who knows, perhaps the next stage is a coalition much like the European Union, between governments of all different continents, a world government. Well, at least we're one step closer to such a possibility - perhaps in the next 30 years.

Why is coming together better than staying apart? Because the synergy created by coming together could achieve so much more than what the individual countries could achieve on their own. The rule of synergy is 1 + 1 = 3. With a single government it's possible to coordinate resources with complete efficiency to eliminate poverty, its possible to control the world economy to minimise recessions, its possible to have equal standards of living across the planet. So much more is possible by coming together than staying apart.

Well, I guess it's one step at a time. Small moves. Small moves.
