oh the short memories again,, Ball-less Johnstone was being pilloried as a bafoon long long before Brexit was ever mentioned by anybody ( except of course Farage ) i am not agreeing with that or not, just highlighting the short, or is it selective ,memories of some..
"no prolitariate " ,,, what sort of world do some people live in, ( is that the sort of unreality that gets people voting tory ), i know it is getting harder and harder under this tory regime to get a paying wage ( apart from zero hours slave labour ) but there are plenty of them,, mostly mistakingly voting for Brexit
They all say when they get into power that they want to make the country a place that benefits all and not just the wealthy. Within a month that's all forgotten as they get bought by those with the most money.
i believe they all or most at least have a genuine belief they have the right policies and vision.i dont think they on the right are evel. or those on the left are just hippies. you can have lightnings approach, ie dog eat dog. tough shit,Victorians revisited. survival of the fittest. or you can have a more left approach where its believed employers and leaders are only as good as their staff and society as whole. and its possibly cheaper and more productive to treat them well rather than increased security costs social or otherwise that again hit the poorest disproportionately.
I think there would be wide agreement on what is good or bad in society from most people. Where they might disagree is how that is achieved.
We will find out soon but I am pretty certain that the current government will use Brexit as an excuse to tax your average person more whilst the rich pay even less tax.
We all know surely that the the richer the rich are and the less tax they pay, the more trickles down to us plebs... Thus we all benefit from deregulation and low tax regimes, you'd have to be seriously stupid not to understand that...
I think increasingly that those on low incomes will be taken out of the tax system. There is no point in a Conservative government taking away with one hand and giving back with the other. This is exactly the opposite of Labour under Gordon Brown who deliberately locked the low paid into state welfare dependency; I wonder why he did that ?
They have already talked about 15% corporation tax rates. That loss of revenue will have to be found somewhere. I can guarantee who will end up paying for it. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Vat rate increased.
