Once a new sport reaches a certain size the participating teams see the mutual advantages of becoming a league, standardizing practices and establishing a certain level of uniformity. Competition within an agreed set of parameters allows more efficient expansion and greater growth potential. The sport of politics is an old one. Long ago groups of men gathered in smoke-filled back rooms, consulting the makers of Monopoly and Shoots and Ladders on how they could build the most perfect game – so perfect the players would not be aware of their participation. So perfect the game would constitute and construct itself as an integral part of their reality. So perfect that only it’s overwhelmingly apparent imperfections when coupled with the players prideful belief that they could improve upon them would guarantee it’s continuation. The dice are loaded. Every card that can be flipped has been contrived… but one day my dear friend, just like any game, it must all go back in the box.
