Political Ends

[Devonian]

I think that political ideologies will be straight out of the window and that control and authority will become regionalised under more of a military/militia type structure.

Think of regions falling into administrative areas such as the old House of York; Northumberland; Wessex; Mercia; Anglia etc with region capitals and a regional Governor or similar.

Within each region I would guess that there would then be lots of local small groups or Militia's working as a unit which could be formed around a town or village with the leader being the judge and jury. These leaders would most likely either be one of two types, the first being a local figurehead who is respected and looked up to by the community and who has effectively been voted in and runs a democratic system; or the second who is dodgy power hungry thug who simply takes what he wants using his own personal rent a mob where democracy has no say.

But whichever type is in power, there will be rules and so therefore if there are rules, there are politics to be played out at sometime or another!

In addition to this there will obviously still be the lone wolves and small family units who largely survive on their own.
