Politcal Geometry

Visible to anyone in the world

Commencing with the Swiss philosopher Rousseau, we have have heard much of Political Economy, but little of Political Geometry. This need immediate remedy.

The term 'right', 'left', and 'centre', were originally the seating arrangements (members of the respective parties being grouped together on the benches) in the French Assembly established following the French Revolution.

In our complex world I don't think this simplistic plan will survive.

We need at least 'up' and 'down', and at minimum another dimension: for example 'in' and 'out'.

The meeting chamber will be hard to architect but a new challenge is always welcome, and I would be willing to put my prodigious talents at the project's disposal for a very modest fee, as usual.
