Labour talk about student fees. Guess who brought them in. They berate austerity. Guess who caused it. They talk about housing. Guess who build none. Labour are only getting the votes they get because poor and ignorant (mostly) Northerners inherently vote for them. They're a pathetic, outdated party who seem on the outside to appeal to the "people", when in reality they only appeal to those "people" we should be shipping to Australia.
Conservative make arrogant decisions designed to protect, in this order, Capitalism, Really Wealthy People, Wealthy People, Quite Wealthy People, then the rest. They lie, as standard, and have a ludicrous 1940's agenda which genuinely believes we have some sort of Empire, when in reality we're a 2nd world country, creaking under the strain of massive over-population/under-investment. We're heading one way under Tories, into an increasingly unbalanced wealth hierarchy and poverty at the bottom will only increase.
We have an absurd taxation and benefit system that literally employs 100,000 too many people because it's unfit for purpose. Flat tax is, economically, much more progressive and meaningful, securing huge payments from the top. This then should be offset by benefits for those UNDER a threshold, as opposed to heightened - and avoidable - taxes for those OVER a threshold. Politicians systematically ignore facts in place of the depressing need for votes.
The NHS - free for all - is also utter nonsense. And again whilst it should remain free for those who cannot afford, the likes of me should be allowed a "Private NHS" option, whereby I can pay £20 a month (instead of paying Vitality or BUPA) to get "Premium" care. Why does this make sense? Because I'm not below the poverty line, I don't smoke, drink to excess or eat microwave meals and McDonalds on a daily basis. I'm also of a working age, not over 80 and don't have plastic joints. Subsequently I am considerably less likely to go to the hospital or GP - however, when I do, I want to be seen quicker and better, because I'm wealthier. I'll pay for it, but if you're getting it for free then there may be a wait. We seem completely fine with a Capitalist society that sees millions reliant on foodbanks.....yet strangely resistant to improve the NHS using the same values.
It's such a ****ing outrageous mess I don't think it will ever change and I would bet my house on Civil War happening before any government makes a positive change.
love you!
