TAYLOR replies:
 I've
used this metaphor: It is the candidates, the consultants and the journalists
who are in effect, the co-producers of this show called politics. The
show doesn't work anymore. The show, by the end of the show the theater
is half, two-thirds, three-quarters empty. Let's make it a better show.
It's of course, more than a show. But you can't be less than a show. And
at the moment it is less than a show. And the market has told people that.
I
mean, if this were any other industry, politics is spending four times
more on itself in real dollars than it did a generation ago. And it has
fewer and fewer customers. If this was any other industry, it would be
completely out of business.
But this is not an industry, it's integral to the way we conduct our society.
Let's start, let's start searching for better ways of doing it. |
