Time For Change

Some disappointment in this household, on the distaff side, with regard to the election results of last night. But here's the thing. Anyone who thinks a change of government anywhere will magically change a nation is naive. Real change in organisations is possible, but  happens slowly, sometimes so slowly you're not consciously aware of it until the day when you recognise things are not really the same anymore. (This requires memory - genuine memory.) Real change in nations is also possible, and a change for the worse can come very quickly indeed once you've passed the tipping point. But making things better requires engagement from citizens at all levels all the time. And it can happen under any government assuming a reasonable level of sanity in the people at the top because, in its essence, real change is not dependent upon them.
