“Party politics has become substantially meaningless because destructive global competition means that voting in a conventional manner, by choosing between political parties, has become a choice that is no choice…….” That’s a quote from a currently unpublished book I have been reading that looks to international cooperation as the key hope for humanity.

A view I share at the local level. But why write a whole book when the same sentiment is expressed in a short film created by Oliver Postgate just waiting to be relaunched: the Clangers “Vote for Froglet”.
