The snake is finally swallowing its own tail. Sounds like a cryptic line from Natural Law, but think about it. Now more than ever, our political class is talking only to itself and its tiny constituency, and talking past everyone else. Sure, Reformers go on about how we finally have a party led by an Ordinary Canadian, who's not a politician like theothers... sure. Preston Manning, for all his Mr. Weatherby persona, just might be the most savvy, sophisticated, post-modem politician around. I mean, doesn't it take twisted genius for a second-generation politician, who apparently runs his party like a despot, to convince outsiders he's Everyday People, and his movement the most grass-roots since theCCF? Fora fundie Christian, a believer in the Anti-Christ, or to reinvent himself as a calm, moderate "populist"? For a man who's created serious political space for bedrock racists to keep this story confined to the back pages and left-wing weeklies? Sure it damn well does. Reform's ]ust a symptom, and not "a way for ordinary Canadians to reject politics-as-usual," in the usual cant phrase. No, it's a symptom of how the political class has managed (I'd say conspired, but of course the powerful never make plans) to narrow the political spaceand confine the really urgent issues to... well, to the fringes. (As for fringe parties, they'll become even more mnge, asa result ofthe little-discussed Bill C-114, which changes the election finance rules so that only parties with big money can run a campaign, so much for the ordinary Canadian.) Hegemony is the term used to describe the space within which the dominant political discourse is shaped. The shape and content (or discontent.. or lack of content) of this discourse serves to maintain class power as it outwardly minimizes the need for the use of overt coercion since the general population remains relatively unaware of the limitations being imposed upon them. The idea is, it's more effective in the long run to maintain power by creating consent a perverted version of the old democratic idea that leaders can lead only with ihe free consent of those governed. Since 1984 the Tories have moved mainstream political discourse, mainstream ideasof what constitutes "realism," farther right than at any time since World War II. The Liberals have mostly gone along, while recent NDP provincial governments have out-Toried the Tones in stomping on labour, railing against "welfare cheats," and stalling, or worse, on native rights and ecological issues. With rare exceptions, they've invoked a dreary "realism " Year to year, government to government, it changes little, and amounts to something like "with the debt and deficit so high, wecan' t afford the same level of services and still become competitive in the newglobal economy Somehow awkward facts and contradictory ideas can't shake these politics of panic.
