The Rise of the Political Class

The first of two articles from a FORCES guest contributor, UK blogger Frank Davis.
FORCES invites all to make a point of regularly visiting the blog of Frank Davis of the UK.

Mr. Davis updates his blog with a new contribution on nearly a daily basis, and his quality writing consistently lures the reader effortlessly into deeper contemplation. While always insightful, frank, learned, and sometimes philosophical, Frank Davis’ blog is powered by anger at the intrusion that government and anti-smoking has made into his own life. From this personal perspective flows a wellspring of provocative insights.

Here, Mr. Davis comments on the insular nature of political power, the rise of the UK political class, and the breakdown of European democracy.
