Tomorrow's State of Opening of Parliament takes place after the arrest of an MP by the police, and the searching of his office in the Palace of Westminster.
Let's be clear, politicians of all colours have been shown wanting, but the associated men in tights, horse drawn carriages and priceless jewels on display tomorrow will do little to resolve the underlying problem.
Our elected representatives believe that money, status and possessions are the key to happiness. They see no value in the uniqueness of the individual. They construct procedures that measure and control more and more aspects of human behaviour, and then they act surprised when the systems fail and a baby is murdered or the police state moves one step nearer.
Until the value of human capital is recognised, above procedure and protocol, the state of the nation will continue to worsen. And whether you are a Roundhead or a Cavalier is besides the point.
