John,
After last week’s by-elections, some commentators
concluded that the PPC should just disband, since we have again failed
to elect a member of Parliament.
They were surprised
when I said we weren’t going away.
These people are
so short-sighted!
Our society and civilisation are becoming
decadent.
One big reason for this is that virtues like
perseverance, resilience, self-reliance, and planning for the
long-term are being lost.
So many people are obsessed
with frivolous consumption and immediate gratification.
Our
economy is crumbling under massive debt, and a majority seem
unconcerned with becoming more and more dependent on government.
It’s no surprised some are telling us we should already give
up!
But we,
the PPC family, care about the future!
After
only five years, the People’s Party has already become one of the main
parties on the Canadian political scene.
If winning a
seat was the only relevant thing for a political party to achieve, the
political and media establishment would completely ignore us.
They know we represent something important. They just don’t
like it.
The reality is that we are accomplishing important
things, even if we haven’t elected MPs yet (because our vote is too
geographically spread out in our electoral system at the moment).
We are
giving disaffected voters a voice, and fighting for overlooked but
important principles and policies.
We are
raising taboo issues that other parties won’t touch.
We are
spreading alternative information and viewpoints, and moving the
Overton window of what is acceptable political discourse.
We are putting pressure on the other parties, and
offering a clear alternative at elections now and in the
future.
These are all worthwhile and important
long-term objectives for a political party.
John, we’re not
about to give up.
