Canadian politicians are faced with a serious “dropout” problem. They’re still talking, but fewer people are bothering to listen. The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda, not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of there whole technology of the times. So politics will eventually be replaced by imagery. The politician will be only too happy to abdicate in favor of his image, because the image will be so much more powerful than he could ever be.
