Richard, you are an absolutely fascinating character with a lot of compelling arguments. We need more speakers like you in the public eye to invigorate those that might lead the country in future.
You just have to keep trying your best. A lot of people keep suffering on how to put food on the table because of the weakness of giving more trial, but trust me it pays the best, i was once a victim of such experience before I met Jasmine Harvey.
As an American, I can say that most Americans that are not controlled by media and therefore likely Democrats, love our allies, especially the UK and Canada. Sadly, we are not the ones in control. The politicians and the corporations are in control, and they have taken it out of our hands. Just know that it’s not a matter of us standing up to Trump, it’s going to have to take something bigger to take him and the corporations down. The millions that voted for Trump in my view were under mind control from the media. They were not allowed to see the truth. Additionally, I have many concerns that 19 million people simply didn’t vote. I truly believe that something happened to their votes, and that most of them if not, all were democratic. As usual, us, Americans and our UK, friends are in this together, and I pray that we all prevail in stopping this madness.
To be fair....he did say this in a time where there wasn't a religious cult claiming that there are sex trafficking tunnels form children under Washington DC...so the 'all other possibilities' aspect?...no longer exists. There are infinite possibilities ton these cretins

President Moron would qualify as pure comedy if the consequences of his madness weren't so serious. Neoliberalism has failed the majority, as was intended.
Is politics going to be brutal in...........YES, every year and the year after that as well. Want to know what is going to be more brutal? The effects felt by the populace
Well said, Richard. Without a fundamental overhaul of political party funding rules in the UK, it’s difficult to envision how parties with alternative visions, like the Green Party, of which I am a member, can genuinely transform the political landscape.
You are so right. A Labour government that relied so heavily of funding from wealthy supporters is in essence not a government of the people for the people. It’s just another alternative left leaning Tory government. Actually I’m not convinced it’s even left leaning. Politician’s only listen to the people’s voice when there is serious discontent and only then if it results in widespread rioting and damage to property. If you want the proof of this look at the poll tax riots. Is a sad reality and I don’t want riots on the streets but I fear one day in Britain it may come to that.
The funding situation could get worse with”freedom” arguments, as in the USA. The Tories already have “Conservatives Abroad” for anyone, anywhere to join via a UK branch and vote in leadership elections.
@@gordonwilson1631 Yes the association between money and power is getting tighter and foreign money is becoming a bigger issue . I am pretty sure that nobody will in the current government will have the balls to challenge it though.

@@Contextualiser16-tn8nd I wish I shared your optimism. We've done a pretty good job of allowing it so far. We have demonstrated an amazing tendency to vote against our best interests in 2010, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2024.
People laughed at Corbyn. He may not have been so much of a charismatic leader ( mind you looking at the present sh** show which party is?)but his policies were pro-ordinary people. Labour have to make some reforms PDQ. To the press, to the benefits system, to their compliance to the government in Israel, to the electoral system, to the privatisation of our utilities and our NHS. Andy Burnham was a better bet than Corbyn but he has ditched Westminster and I don't blame him. We've got a few socialists left in the Labour party but nobody hears them and if they do speak out Starmer finds a way of getting rid of them. I'm 71 now and have no experience in politics but I sometimes feel like making a stand. Marching through the streets. Rousing the apathetic majority who are intent on worshipping the Royals and doffing their caps to the rich, blaming immigrants, migrants, people on benefits, unions, single parents anybody but the establishment and the status quo. Please charismatic leader on the left, whoever you are, stop lurking and come forward. Now is your time. We will support you
@@snowiecat456"we will support you"!?! 😂 *Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay* have been in full view since October 2021 & their party since 1984, *Arthur Scargill* & his party have been available since 1996, do you need a longer list of candidates you have completely ignored?
It's not the (declining, failing, collapsing) US Empire for nothing. And I'm saying we should start calling it that, instead of tiptoeing around the issue.
I only seem to now hear “Far-right” and “woke left” - has centrist, Centre left or Centre right politics now a thing of the past? It’s seems we are in an era of hate with each side wanting to destroy the other side. Depressing really. Edit: Actually I don’t think it’s hate, but fear. Fear of not feeling like people have a place in society and belong.
Centrist parties stand for election every time, if you choose to accept the mainstream/Establishment narrative that they don't exist that's down to you.
If you didn't consider Starmer being ineffective and tin eared and Trump getting back in as distinct possibilities, you simply weren't paying attention.
I've been warning about Starmer since the end of 2020. Corbyn isn't the solution btw, he started this mess by supporting brexit, someone with a spine is. There's nothing to stop the plp removing him, reeves and streeting through a no-confidence vote. And no, there doesn't need to be a General Election- look at the tories who went through Cameron, May, blojo, Truss and snake since 2016.
How brutal do you want? Looking at British politics it is already the lowest imaginable, with a government devoid of benevolence aiming more to self interest and deliberate ignorance of what the people need. The slavish sycophantic actions in deference to a genocidal regime all the while using the name of the British people to support it, shows how disconnected politicians are from the electorate. On the subject of the electorate, they are just as much to blame for accepting the lies of people like Stamer with his ''Changes'' intentions, that turned out to be nothing of what was proffered. Now these voters are falling over themselves to vote for regurgitations from the Tory party promising the same 'Changes', but all for £25 a member. The fact that it's leader is an advocate of Donald Trump carries no warning, and lumps all into the Trump supporter clan. Am I being too brutal, then just cast a view back to the last ten years and try to pick out the culprits that were also lauded in politics only to be now disgraced. Let's not forget the complicit role of the national media with their selective reporting, and the supposed realisation of 'misinformation', the new word for plain lies. How unacceptable does politics need to get?
I predict that in 2025 there will be a video about how politics might be brutal and unacceptable in 2026, and so on _ad infinitum,_ because it has been brutal and unacceptable for some years now if not decades.
@alanhat5252 I have truly fantastic news. Truly because I feel a sense of unreality. I'm a semi-retired research scientist late of FSU. I am also a political activist.Because of this, the federal government physically tortured me for 3 1/2 weeks and convicted me on a completely bogus charge. The image in the circle is the written death threat they issued me about halfway through. Torture works. In political prison, I worked on cognitive linguistics. Now nominally released but subject to heavy restrictions for life, I have been able to code some, and it works splendidly. Imagine the conscious parts that would be in AI if it were any damned good. That's what I do, very well indeed. A couple of weeks ago, the second vice-chair of the district Democratic party literally picked me up off the street. She was intrigued and impressed with my case of imprisonment for activism, and we became fast friends. If I had a life, I'd trust her completely with it. We spent all the next day together. She drove me 42 miles to a bookstore with a perennial display of banned books. She introduced me all around, as we agree the book I am writing will be the bannedest of all. I am self-publishing so I need pull no punches. There we ran into her best friend, an AI researcher. We talked a bit, and he said I simply had to talk to his crew. She said she had never seen his face light up like that under similar conditions. Did I mention I use CL to analyze and correct political speech? My code with a bit of work should be able to analyze all likely interpretations of political speech and, without changing the semantics at all, produce a minimally polluted and pollutable version. With relatively miniscule funding and a staff of a half dozen highly dedicated people, I could do a lot. AI already summarizes political speech but in the worst possible way. The glorified Markov chains preserve framing, and from CL framing is everything. My approach has no such problems, as it completely interprets speech into a set of sensemes, applies conceptual blending and gestalt-formation, and produces speech with it's own framing, which can be as unbiased as you set it to become. My brain is rattling like a pea in a policeman's whistle. As In This Moment sang, even in these chains you can't stop me.
Will people be able to retain our basic human rights and need for expression ? Find out in the next episode called 'i cant believe a fellon is a president '
Bullshit. Carter was President between 1977 and 1981. Gorbachev was General Secretary between 1985 and 1991. They didn't meet until both had lost their jobs.
Carter was President between 1978 to 1982. Gorbachev was President 1990 to 1991. Reagan's message to Gorby was "tear down the (Berlin)wall". ten years later on from Carter. Thatcher said Mr Gorbachev was a man "she could do business with" also around 10 years after Carter. Brezhnev was the Russian President at the time of Carter.
The plp won't do anything about that because they're beholden to similar donors. Why do you think Brexitkier is continuing with this madness other than a feckless racist public?
Giving heed or credence to a membership is not a required part of a political party (as Starmer ably demonstrates) all that's required is sufficient funding to stand candidates at elections. Not exactly democratic but it's what we've got.

So is altruism. Our “human nature,” according to the latest findings in neuroscience and psychology, is to be social and engaged and connected to others. We cannot survive without human attachments. Recent studies have found that the “default network” of the brain - the part of the brain that’s active when we’re “not doing anything” - is the social network. When our minds have time to wander, we think about other people and our self and our relationships. The huge success of media is an obvious example of our deep need for this connection with others
@sososoprano1 I've seen several of these studies and of course we are social animals so it makes sense. The old adage of 'the devil makes use of idle hands ' also comes to mind as social isolation through poverty, unemployment etc causes huge amounts of crime and mental health problems.
If we think Starmer's abilities and oratory are dull, imagine Streeting! The one who can talk a packed room out onto the street effortlessly rabbiting, saying nothing. The same one whose comprehensive plan for NHS has yet to be revealed to us, six months after becoming health secretary. As for Reeves, it was pretty daft to woo business...growth growth growth...then to burden them with employer NI. Well, who'd have thought that as a result jobs would go...and when people lose their income they stop spending, which affects the economy.
The world is not prefect.having got rid of the corrupt tories after 14 years we should have hoped for better things.lnstead of a labour government, we ended up with a tory Tribute Act.
@@deadandburied7626 not many did, but Reeves was never going to hard after the millionaire/billionaires was she. Bankers are going to get more under her than they were under the Tories (stated a year ago before she was chancellor) and very unlikely to pursue a wealth tax any time soon.
@mishapurser4439 the "hard left" does not exist in UK politics, don't mistake the shift in the Overton Window for a redefinition of "left" & "right". "Left" is still "for the people" & "Right" is still "for business", all UK parties recognize that "business" is a required part of the economy & don't seek to take more than the "natural monopolies" into State control.
Richard is an out n out lefty. He's intelligent, without doubt, but ignores his own biases when making his videos. I wish he would stick to economics and keep his political views to himself. 🧐
He threw out the words far right without understanding what far right means plainly. Guy pretending to know what he's talking about. Can't believe this guy has a job in Sheffield University.
@Ganyersel No. He rightly criticizes most mainstream economists at every turn because they have little understanding of how the economy actually functions. The failing neoliberal economic policies of the Tories, and now Labour, and which were based on the advice of economists in Britain's leading universities are evidence of this.

I don't have a crystal ball. But it's not difficult to foresee that Trump will do nothing. Nothing with capital letters. He did nothing during his first term in office and this tine he's also 8 years older. You can never beat biology! 🙂🙂
Trump may do nothing but the people around him, who are as nasty a bunch as any we've seen in the past, will certainly try and what they try will be bad.
I don’t see any movement towards the right. I see a movement towards the times before Left and Right were even a thing. We are moving from the rule of law towards the rule of power. Or as we continental Europeans say: we’re going back to the ‘Ancien Régime’. It’s what fascism has always been about: the restoration of pre-enlightenment values. We’re not moving into the unknown, but into the once very well known. It may seem impossible to predict the future, unless the future is driven by the gravitational pull of the past.
speak for yourself, a lot of us predicted labour were going to be in a mess from the start based on their messaging during the election, kier starmer's lack of political experience and how he got the leadership in the first place, and the late stage capitalism world we're living being unsustainable and reaching its logical peak
As long as Russia continues its hybrid warfare attacks on western democracies, politics is going to be a good bit more confrontational than has historically been the case. Whether you find that unacceptable or not depends on whether you buy into the Kremlin narrative about the Ukraine war.

Most Americans love the UK, the duped Trump voters are not the majority and their lack of education and lack of being informed, by the truth, encouraged them to vote for Trump. Just know that most of us Americans stand with the UK a valued ally. Let’s all stick together! Just know that the Americans that understand what is really happening, will do whatever they can to support the UK.
There are several ways disaster might strike: 1: A mis-calculation starting a nuclear war 2: BRICS realise the insanity of having the dollar as a default currency and do something about it. 3: People become so disillusioned with the political system anarchy arises 4: Climate change damage escalates In my mind we must radically change the political system as under the party system results will always lag necessity. If we are stuck with Labour at least replace Starmer with someone that can communicate. Better still we and I mean the world should embrace an accountable, revised form of Communism, I see no viable alternative if we are to survive. I suspect we won't and we won't.
Removing the dollar as the World's Reserve Currency would kill their trade deficit and cause a massive worldwide financial collapse. Love or hate the US I'm not sure anyone would want that.
For me, number 4 on your list is at some point going to bite down really hard!! Whether you believe in climate change as a man made phenomena or a natural cycle in the course of geological time….it is happening. It doesn’t necessarily matter now which theory of causation you believe as investment in protective and preventive measures is desperately needed.
1. We should live every day as if it's our last. 2. BRICS is de-dollarizing because US weaponized the dollar and the SWIFT financial system, but creating a parallel financial system is slow. De-dollarization is slow. And to de-dollarize, every dollar must return to US, ie. purchase US goods and services. We can think of them as delayed sales. 3. I don't see this happening. Our system runs on apathy and hopelessness. 4. Yeah. Especially if the Atlantic current is significantly altered. I see China as a positive model for many of our challenges, but more for a Keynesian mixed economy and energy revolution, rather than for communism: I know it's meant to be more democratic than US or UK, but I don't know enough about it. Agree we need some revised form of communism

Believing politicians to be rational and predictable agents follows inevitably from the basic assumptions of neoliberalism. So if they are not, it also follows that there must be something wrong with those assumptions. Hmm...
The issue is that forecasters forgot to take into account the simple fact that with the cost of living going up, of course people were going to vote for someone who tells them they'll make things better, over the incumbent who'se telling them that the economy is good, actually.
Given that people generally don’t understand how the real economy works. Unlike the financial version, which can react very quickly, the real economy takes time for changes to work through to the end users.
The reality is the economic numbers are good, the richest are thriving, and it is only 99% who policies are failing. 'Please sir, I want more GDP growth for the top 0.1% because I am hungry and cold'
What I’ve realised about politics is that every policy is a Brexit moment. It’s not about some ideal that you have in your head but the practicalities and the effects . Does this make things better or worse. The VAT on education for instance . Education like everything else has been underfunded and austerity has taken its toll but then I’ve never voted Tory and didn’t vote Labour this time. Whilst the Red Wall was busy embracing the enemy I joined Labour to support Corbyn. I didn’t agree with everything but saw his integrity. Now the multitude seem to have jumped on the bandwagon with taxing education . Meanwhile after bullying , and being pushed to the back of the class and ignored by a series of idiots at state primary we sent our son to a minor private school with at that time unknown learning difficulties. I always seem to be in opposition to mainstream voters. The onslaught of hate and mindless rhetoric about ‘ the rich’ and elite public schools seems to have blinded most people to the fact that ‘ Newsflash ‘-the rich’ can still afford to send their kids to Eton! Those who are going to be affected are the kids like our son who will now have to be found places in the state system at huge cost .The money from VAT will surely hardly cover it. So what exactly has been achieved? This governments MO is going to be’ divide any conquer ‘and mainstream voters are obviously going to fall for it. They don’t have the sense to vote for themselves and can be induced to think anything by the next conman. I can see them queuing up to vote Reform next.Our son now has Masters and just landed a good job in the City . He sends a two fingered salute to all the haters. Don’t bother to reply . We don’t give a damn.
I have great respect for your honesty regarding economic forecasting. Not an economist myself l have always felt that economic/financial forecasting should be taken with a few kilos pinch of salt and they are only voiced to lend professional authority to the “specialist” who promote them but what would you do in this climate of unpredictability?
Politically, 2025 is going to offer a good laugh. The UK is now too divided for the people to follow any singular form of governance, so grab the popcorn and have a watch 😂
Biden already got massive trade conflicts as well as kinetic conflicts going worldwide, so I don't think you need to fear Trump being worse in that respect.
Politics is the mischief of factions and the source of the competitive nature of today’s politics, which leads to division and mutability of government. Government has nothing to do with politics, as the purpose of government is collective decision making. If you think about it all policy is the result of decisions “to do” something, so what we need is a decision making process to make consensus choice, which is a two phase process where one assembly determines the cost benefit relationships and determines scope and cost of matters of interest, and another equal democratic assembly concurs with those choices, which forms an iterative legislative process which is balanced and has checks to protect minority interest. This is why a bicameral legislature is preferred, however, the districts must be determined before you assemble the legislative branches, because the districts must be assembled proportionately in a popular branch and as equals in an equal democratic branch, for the process to function properly, the districts of the two branches cannot separate, and each district must have independent suffrage in both branches which cannot be consolidated or proxied by political affiliation. The Party Governing Era MUST END!!!
As much as I love your videos, from an economic perspective, it would seem once again that optimism is your greatest failing. It was almost predictable, to me at least, that Donald Trump was going to win again. And also that Starmer would prove a great disappointment. And you only have to know your history to understand why. Optimism is all very well but cynicism is the only pragmatic way to view the reality of human nature. Stop thinking that most people are as intellectually aware as you. Remember Socrates' warning about democracy. Or Bertrand Russell's take on mass stupidity. Or Asimov on America's 'cult of ignorance'. Or Orwell's Animal Farm. The list goes on. If not, stick to your numbers and don't speak for those of us who know more when it comes to human nature. I'm sick of being told to look on the bright side when I've been warning about this for over a decade.😢
Trump is not just an actor, he is a reality-show huckster. Greedy, immoral and can't be relied upon to make a rational decision. Most high-level politicians are not in the same league, thankfully.
"Hope" has led you to overestimate the insight of Americans. "Hope" seduces people to trust demagogues. *But "hope" is a good thing...?* We hope for co2-removal in the future. We hope emissions go down. We pray for biosphere.... So 'holy people'
Donald Trump might be a narcissist, but he likes to be liked and I think this will stop him the worst of his traits. I hope that I worded that correctly.

People laughed at Corbyn. He may not have been so much of a charismatic leader ( mind you looking at the present sh** show which party is?)but his policies were pro-ordinary people. Labour have to make some reforms PDQ. To the press, to the benefits system, to their compliance to the government in Israel, to the electoral system, to the privatisation of our utilities and our NHS.
Andy Burnham was a better bet than Corbyn but he has ditched Westminster and I don't blame him.

And people go on about' democracy' ONE MAN makes changes for millions and millions of people ,you couldn't make it up
If you didn't consider Starmer being ineffective and tin eared and Trump getting back in as distinct possibilities, you simply weren't paying attention.
I've been warning about Starmer since the end of 2020. Corbyn isn't the solution btw, he started this mess by supporting brexit, someone with a spine is. There's nothing to stop the plp removing him, reeves and streeting through a no-confidence vote. And no, there doesn't need to be a General Election- look at the tories who went through Cameron, May, blojo, Truss and snake since 2016.
How brutal do you want? Looking at British politics it is already the lowest imaginable, with a government devoid of benevolence aiming more to self interest and deliberate ignorance of what the people need. The slavish sycophantic actions in deference to a genocidal regime all the while using the name of the British people to support it, shows how disconnected politicians are from the electorate. On the subject of the electorate, they are just as much to blame for accepting the lies of people like Stamer with his ''Changes'' intentions, that turned out to be nothing of what was proffered. Now these voters are falling over themselves to vote for regurgitations from the Tory party promising the same 'Changes', but all for £25 a member. The fact that it's leader is an advocate of Donald Trump carries no warning, and lumps all into the Trump supporter clan. Am I being too brutal, then just cast a view back to the last ten years and try to pick out the culprits that were also lauded in politics only to be now disgraced. Let's not forget the complicit role of the national media with their selective reporting, and the supposed realisation of 'misinformation', the new word for plain lies. How unacceptable does politics need to get?
The parties have no need to empathize with the people while the people believe that the 2 Establishment parties are the only option. 😢
I predict that in 2025 there will be a video about how politics might be brutal and unacceptable in 2026, and so on _ad infinitum,_ because it has been brutal and unacceptable for some years now if not decades.

@alanhat5252 I have truly fantastic news. Truly because I feel a sense of unreality.
I'm a semi-retired research scientist late of FSU. I am also a political activist.Because of this, the federal government physically tortured me for 3 1/2 weeks and convicted me on a completely bogus charge. The image in the circle is the written death threat they issued me about halfway through. Torture works.
In political prison, I worked on cognitive linguistics. Now nominally released but subject to heavy restrictions for life, I have been able to code some, and it works splendidly. Imagine the conscious parts that would be in AI if it were any damned good. That's what I do, very well indeed.
A couple of weeks ago, the second vice-chair of the district Democratic party literally picked me up off the street. She was intrigued and impressed with my case of imprisonment for activism, and we became fast friends. If I had a life, I'd trust her completely with it.
We spent all the next day together. She drove me 42 miles to a bookstore with a perennial display of banned books. She introduced me all around, as we agree the book I am writing will be the bannedest of all. I am self-publishing so I need pull no punches. There we ran into her best friend, an AI researcher. We talked a bit, and he said I simply had to talk to his crew. She said she had never seen his face light up like that under similar conditions.
Did I mention I use CL to analyze and correct political speech? My code with a bit of work should be able to analyze all likely interpretations of political speech and, without changing the semantics at all, produce a minimally polluted and pollutable version. With relatively miniscule funding and a staff of a half dozen highly dedicated people, I could do a lot.
AI already summarizes political speech but in the worst possible way. The glorified Markov chains preserve framing, and from CL framing is everything. My approach has no such problems, as it completely interprets speech into a set of sensemes, applies conceptual blending and gestalt-formation, and produces speech with it's own framing, which can be as unbiased as you set it to become.
My brain is rattling like a pea in a policeman's whistle. As In This Moment sang, even in these chains you can't stop me.

Bullshit. Carter was President between 1977 and 1981. Gorbachev was General Secretary between 1985 and 1991. They didn't meet until both had lost their jobs.
Carter was President between 1978 to 1982. Gorbachev was President 1990 to 1991. Reagan's message to Gorby was "tear down the (Berlin)wall". ten years later on from Carter. Thatcher said Mr Gorbachev was a man "she could do business with" also around 10 years after Carter. Brezhnev was the Russian President at the time of Carter.

Giving heed or credence to a membership is not a required part of a political party (as Starmer ably demonstrates) all that's required is sufficient funding to stand candidates at elections. Not exactly democratic but it's what we've got.

It's always brutal, corrupt and self serving and always has been globally. Human nature I'm afraid.
So is altruism. Our “human nature,” according to the latest findings in neuroscience and psychology, is to be social and engaged and connected to others. We cannot survive without human attachments.
Recent studies have found that the “default network” of the brain - the part of the brain that’s active when we’re “not doing anything” - is the social network. When our minds have time to wander, we think about other people and our self and our relationships. The huge success of media is an obvious example of our deep need for this connection with others
@sososoprano1 I've seen several of these studies and of course we are social animals so it makes sense. The old adage of 'the devil makes use of idle hands ' also comes to mind as social isolation through poverty, unemployment etc causes huge amounts of crime and mental health problems.

As for Reeves, it was pretty daft to woo business...growth growth growth...then to burden them with employer NI. Well, who'd have thought that as a result jobs would go...and when people lose their income they stop spending, which affects the economy.
I'm sorry but Labour making a mess was easily predictable. Those on the hard left were saying so and explained our reasoning, and we were right.

1. We should live every day as if it's our last. 2. BRICS is de-dollarizing because US weaponized the dollar and the SWIFT financial system, but creating a parallel financial system is slow. De-dollarization is slow. And to de-dollarize, every dollar must return to US, ie. purchase US goods and services. We can think of them as delayed sales. 3. I don't see this happening. Our system runs on apathy and hopelessness. 4. Yeah. Especially if the Atlantic current is significantly altered.
I see China as a positive model for many of our challenges, but more for a Keynesian mixed economy and energy revolution, rather than for communism: I know it's meant to be more democratic than US or UK, but I don't know enough about it. Agree we need some revised form of communism

Believing politicians to be rational and predictable agents follows inevitably from the basic assumptions of neoliberalism. So if they are not, it also follows that there must be something wrong with those assumptions. Hmm...
The issue is that forecasters forgot to take into account the simple fact that with the cost of living going up, of course people were going to vote for someone who tells them they'll make things better, over the incumbent who'se telling them that the economy is good, actually.
Given that people generally don’t understand how the real economy works. Unlike the financial version, which can react very quickly, the real economy takes time for changes to work through to the end users.
The reality is the economic numbers are good, the richest are thriving, and it is only 99% who policies are failing. 'Please sir, I want more GDP growth for the top 0.1% because I am hungry and cold'
Fascism has come to the US. Can't get more ugly than that.
What I’ve realised about politics is that every policy is a Brexit moment. It’s not about some ideal that you have in your head but the practicalities and the effects . Does this make things better or worse. The VAT on education for instance . Education like everything else has been underfunded and austerity has taken its toll but then I’ve never voted Tory and didn’t vote Labour this time. Whilst the Red Wall was busy embracing the enemy I joined Labour to support Corbyn. I didn’t agree with everything but saw his integrity. Now the multitude seem to have jumped on the bandwagon with taxing education . Meanwhile after bullying , and being pushed to the back of the class and ignored by a series of idiots at state primary we sent our son to a minor private school with at that time unknown learning difficulties. I always seem to be in opposition to mainstream voters. The onslaught of hate and mindless rhetoric about ‘ the rich’ and elite public schools seems to have blinded most people to the fact that ‘ Newsflash ‘-the rich’ can still afford to send their kids to Eton! Those who are going to be affected are the kids like our son who will now have to be found places in the state system at huge cost .The money from VAT will surely hardly cover it. So what exactly has been achieved? This governments MO is going to be’ divide any conquer ‘and mainstream voters are obviously going to fall for it. They don’t have the sense to vote for themselves and can be induced to think anything by the next conman. I can see them queuing up to vote Reform next.Our son now has Masters and just landed a good job in the City . He sends a two fingered salute to all the haters. Don’t bother to reply .

'Is' seems like tautology.
Politics is the mischief of factions and the source of the competitive nature of today’s politics, which leads to division and mutability of government. Government has nothing to do with politics, as the purpose of government is collective decision making. If you think about it all policy is the result of decisions “to do” something, so what we need is a decision making process to make consensus choice, which is a two phase process where one assembly determines the cost benefit relationships and determines scope and cost of matters of interest, and another equal democratic assembly concurs with those choices, which forms an iterative legislative process which is balanced and has checks to protect minority interest. This is why a bicameral legislature is preferred, however, the districts must be determined before you assemble the legislative branches, because the districts must be assembled proportionately in a popular branch and as equals in an equal democratic branch, for the process to function properly, the districts of the two branches cannot separate, and each district must have independent suffrage in both branches which cannot be consolidated or proxied by political affiliation.
