Political Disarray? Time to Change the Rhetoric

The political world is in disarray. A subjective opinion, possibly. An insight into reality, more likely. Such a statement is perhaps contradictory for an article that seeks to spark a reform of voice, instigate a change in conversation and highlight how desperately we need a change of rhetoric. Its time we changed the momentum of the discussion.

Yes, the changes we’ve experienced in our system are seismic. They will surely impact every level of Western Society but adding misery and despair to the conversation only contributes to a growing machine of mayhem. Essentially, we look to our commentators and critics to be constructive. The leading voices in political and economical commentary have been quick to voice their feelings of disenchantment and downright pessimism towards our current political landscape but its difficult to view this as anything but an easy way out. Constructive criticism is a far more challenging skill and those in the position to contribute to the debate, should do so with a notion of building a more positive framework.

Defining insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, with expectations of a different result. The constant Trump-bashing perpetrated by the left-leaning media is a perfect example. Publications such as The Economist are becoming increasingly irrelevant as Trump tweets directly to the electorate, speaking their language. Publications should operate with constructive criticism in an attempt to regain credibility and instead contribute intelligently to an issue that effects every one of us to the core.
