Pause For Thought
From Steve Chalke, founder of an international charity and a Baptist Minister:
"Yesterday, we all had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to vote on whether we should change our democratic system from ‘first-past-the-post’ to ‘AV’.
In the build up to all this, a number of our leading politicians have got themselves rather steamed up over the whole thing. But, though the votes won’t be counted till later today, and the exact turn out won’t be known till then - whatever the outcome, it seems that in spite of the exaggerated claims on both sides, it’s proved impossible to generate much public enthusiasm around the merits of competing voting systems.
"If you can't convince them, confuse them" said Harry Truman, the 33rd American President.
Over the years, as the charity I founded has developed its work around the world, I’ve learned, from experience, that whatever electoral system you have, it will not – on its own – solve vandalism on housing estates, raise standards in struggling schools, provide care for the elderly at risk or create a strong sense of community and togetherness.
I’m convinced that any healthy democracy has to hold together two vital principles – ‘representation’ and ‘participation’, or to say it differently ‘voting’ and ‘volunteering’. Whoever you have in Whitehall or the town hall, it takes more than that to build a strong society. Only through the, all important, every-day participation of ordinary people can lasting change come.
I love the story of Agnes Bojaxhiu, a 12 year-old girl, who in 1922, made a simple decision to live her life to serve God by creating community. She pursued her vision with such fierce determination that, by the time of her death, she’d created a legacy of 517 hospitals, orphanages, schools and care homes in 100 countries.
Mother Teresa – as Agnes was better known – said that because “God loves us, we have an opportunity to love others in the same way, not in big things, but in small things.” I think that what she meant was ‘get involved in the task of building the community you want to live in everyday of your life – vote for it today by rolling up those sleeves and working for it’." -
