A revolution is under way. The whole way we are being governed is changing. Everything from the way Secretaries of State are expected to take responsibility for their departments and make their own announcements to elected police chiefs - all is change and a true revolution in people power it is.
David Cameron is responsible for this. He spoke out against our Big State and centralised power in opposition and is now steadily dismantling it. The process is underway in ways often imperceptible to the public.
An excellent and interesting article about this appears today written by Benedict Brogan. Here are a couple of extracts and a link to the full article below.
"""""In Opposition he promised to hand away power, and in office he is doing just that. The consequences, I believe, promise a fundamental change to how this country is run. And what is all the more remarkable is how little we have noticed. Mr Cameron has embarked on a programme of decentralisation that will require Westminster, Whitehall and eventually the voters themselves to adjust. He wants to end our addiction to the all-providing state, and the Conservative Party's recent preference for central control over freedom.
What the Prime Minister is trying to do is audacious, because it defies what we have come to expect is the normal behaviour of politicians seeking to govern......
.......The process of centralisation began under Margaret Thatcher, as a legitimate response to Labour's mismanagement of the public finances. Those were the days when we had to ask: who governs Britain? In 1997 it was turned into a conspiracy to reorder society under the direction of Mr Brown, who launched a deliberate campaign to widen dependency on the state by dragging everyone from newborn babies to pensioners into a direct relationship with government through means-tested benefits.
Mr Cameron made reversing the damage one of his themes before the election, and in government has begun the task of delivering. """"""
