Moderation before Marx

Whatever happened to polities?

Time was when parties stood for some
sort of political philosophy, A voter could
consider it hogwash, but at least a plat-
form stood for a party's ideas for turn-
ing the country into an earthly paradise,

Then the image-makers from the pub-
lic relations outfits moved in.

To say nathing of a little sound com-
mon sense, when vote-seekers found that
voters wouldn't subscribe to pie-in-the-
sky promises.

Liberals act conservatively, Conserva-
tives play footsie with the welfare state,
and our own archly conservative premier
continues ta make the NOP opposition
frustrated because he keeps stealing their
ideas.

Most people felt that in this bypassing
of political principle, ane could at least
rely on the New Democrat Party to re-
main constant to nationalisation, a so-
cialist Utopia, and working class soli-
darity.

But naw even the harny handed sons
of toil have gone electicneering and re-
placed their working clothes with grey

flannel. At fast week's national con-
vention national leader Tommy Dauglas
did make some predictable socialist
noises,

But the word from the floor was mo-
deration before Marx, and sweet reason

_ in place of manifestoes,

Toranto MP Andrew Brewin put the
néw approach into succinct focus by
suggesting that a party “dpproaching
athe responsibility of power , . . must
aveid the luxury. of extreme, bitter and
emotional words,”

While the Conservatives continue to
play a cutthroat game of follow the
leader, Brewin may be right and
the heirs off the rabble rousing CCF may
be transformed at least in to Her Ma-
jesty’s Loyal Opposition.

They may even become socially ac:
ceptable and agree to recognize the Unit-
ed States.

If the parties continue to follow the
image makers behests, that old slogan
of the public spirited —_ “vote for the
party of your choice” — won't apply any
more, There won’t be any choice.

Too much royal claptrap

Another Royal Visit to Canada .pro-
duced the inevitable claptrap.

The British papers felt that Canada
wos fearfully disloyal.

Someone predicted that the Sepora-
tistes might do something rude.

Somebody else said the monarchy was
a divisive element in Canada.

And umpteen editorial writers polished
up their purple prose to write solemn,
Portentous and Epochal editorials.

We don't have any quarrel with the
monarchy. It is not a true form of gov-
ernment in these democratic days but it
does serve at least as a symbolic link be-
tween that rapidly disbanding group of
countries known as the Commonwealth.

Most Canadians are delighted to have
Elizabeth I! as Queen of Canada.

But why must we submit her to the

Legislature. rules childish|

BY DR, PAT ‘McGEER:, MLA

By present political standards, the rwes in
the Legislature of British Columbia are un-
helievably childish,

It is time the people of this Province began
to demand some maturity, from those they elect,

Although the dramatic debates of the United
Natians-on as delicate an issue as the Middle
East War can be brought via television and
radio to the home of every Canadian, no such
transmission of debates is permitted in our
Legislative Assembly.

In fact, no record at all of debates in our
Legislature 1s permitted,

Worse than that, a citizen is not permitted
to go Into the public galleries of our Par.
Jlament and make notes of what his elected
member says,

Anyone who witnessed world leaders at the
United Nations present their views, not just
before thelr fellow delegates, but before every
common citizen, realizes what now is expected
in our politics,

dreary mummery that i is inevitable every
time she visits this country,

We would like to see her treated as
the warn human being she is rather than
as a captive symbol of Empire.

The Queen's view of Canada and Ca-
nadians has to date been confined to
looking down the larnyxes of platitude-
spouting minar officials, and observing
an eternity of abdomens belonging to
armed forces personnel lined up to re-
ceive new sets of colors.

‘And the only music she hears here is
a continual lugubrious wailing of .God
Save the Queen.

_ As a matter of fact, why not abolish
all those nonsensical rituals and instead
permit the Queen of Canada to see Can-

ada and Canadians,

The average man is entitled, as a matter of
right, to see, to hear, to read in detail, and
to judge for himself the actions of those he
elects to carry out his business,

If it fs more practical to bring the events
to his home, through modern communications
such as television, than it is for him t9.go to
a Parllament Building, then nothing should im-
pede the bringing of political events tohishome, -

The United Nations ts a long step from world
government but debates from the United Nations
will soon be televised to average citizens in |
many nations of the world.

It will strip off the false posturing of political
leaders who depend on deception for thelr power,

To many citizens of B.C,, the fact that these
debtates are televised will create an alr of
humility about our own political affairs,

They have not reached adolescence,much less
adulthood.

But such: maturity of our regional politics
is essential if Canada Is to play the leading
roje in world affairs that Canadian citizens are
coming to expect,
