Go ask our Right-wing Conservative governments that we've been stuck with for decades about what they have done to develop our economy. Oh, the NHS has worked just fine for decades...until we started having Right-wing Conservative governments...
I'm not a fan myself, but after Cameron, May, Johnson, and Truss, Starmer would have to work really hard to do any worse.
Well they put everything they had into getting rid of Corbyn and there has been a campaign of getting left wing sites banned and/or taking them off the front page to several pages back. Socialism is what Corporate power always goes against though it often pretends to be wanting to help the masses. However after WW2 the UK Government invested in the people's needs like never before. They were scared of Revolution. I was watching a very interesting discussion of modern fascism last night. They believe it is now perfectly possible for Democracy to be fascist.
Socialism is like Marxism, except much more watered down.
We had social democracy from WW2 to Thatcherism. There was always some kind of vision that whoever was talking would be offering us. Parties were financed by their members and hence had to answer to their members. There was plenty of outside meetings. Beginning with Thatcher we lost all that. All politics was about was money. They have focus groups to try and find something they can sell to the public but it is a very minor thing. People began to see that they could not change things. That really their voice in politics counted for nothing. That there wasn't even anyone who was presenting what they wanted. They left the political parties. Our political parties then became like your own. The people in them owned by those who pay them and the belief is that Truss and her Chancellor are very much there. Apparently the Chancellor's old boss made quite a lot of money when the pound went down. My daughter told me the chancellor did as well but I don't know if that was her imagination.
You lived in a socialist hell. You should get down on your knees to thank God for granting your nation a blessing like Thatcher.
I think you forget how melodramatic and unconvincing you are. Democracy is vastly overrated. Even in the republic known as the United States of America, we have some facets of democracy. But we were wise enough at our Constitutional convention to keep it in check and at bay.
You ever wonder why the majority of voters voted for Truss? I bet it is the same reasons Trump came to become President, yet no one on the left really wants to answer that question, which if they did, would won instead of losing.
