1997/2023 There was a Dream. Where is the Dream now?

In 1997, Tony Blair led the Labour Party to a historic electoral victory. What happened afterwards is now history as one of the biggest disappointments. The illegal invasion of Iraq with the purpose of regime changing that crippled Iraq and completely destabilized the Middle East generating conflicts across the entire region. The Dream vanished into thin air and led to many of the present conflicts inside and outside the United Kingdom.

We are coming to the 2024 General Election. What is the Dream? There is no Dream whatsoever. In fact, both political parties are extremely fragmented with internal unresolved issues, aggravated by geopolitical concerns. What will people be actually voting for? If anything, there is mounting anger because politicians have turned their backs on ordinary voters to follow their own political agendas. Even more. A seemingly endless series of scandals - many related to sexual abuses - does not make the situation any better.
