"The eclipse of traditional parties has not led to the withering of political activity, however. On the contrary, it has gone hand in hand with much greater politicization. In this decade, politics seems to be everywhere, all at once. In America, the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 were potentially the largest in the country’s history, with some estimates putting the number of participants at over 20 million. Turnout in European and American elections is healthy; protests are recurrent and intense; political violence, including assassination attempts, is making a brutal comeback. On social media, in turn, political discourse has become both omnipresent and diffuse. Clearly, “post-politics” has come to an end.
This effusion often invites comparisons to Gramsci’s time, the high tide of political activism. One fact, however, voids the analogy: Western societies today, unlike during the 1920s and 1930s, are experiencing a continuous erosion of institutional structures. Trade unions, civic associations, social clubs, volunteer networks and churches: All are in abeyance. Both the Jan. 6 riots and the Black Lives Matter protests — to take the two most eye-catching examples of political contestation in America — were large and energetic. But they also proved very short-lasting and birthed neither durable infrastructure nor dues-paying memberships.
The result is a peculiar scissor shape: on the one hand, intense political activity; on the other, continued institutional sclerosis. Where in the 1990s we had parties without politics, we now have politics without parties. This is the strange confluence I have termed hyperpolitics. For traditional political parties, the previous bedrock of Western political stability, it is a lethal tonic.
Nowhere is this more visible than in what some consider the first mass party in Western history: the British Conservative Party."

Will Mandelson be Starmer's downfall?
If it isn't, then British politics is a travesty of democracy.
When a convicted pedophile has better access and more influence to the Prime Minister than most citizens, even when the PM is fully aware, you don't have a democracy.

> The PM knew about Mandelson's friendship with Epstein – but still appointed him US ambassador.

There is nothing I dread So much, as a Division of the Republick into two great Parties, each arranged under its Leader, and concerting Measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble Apprehension is to be dreaded as the greatest political Evil, under our Constitution.
