I think 20/1 works for wages. It’s what it used to be generally for CEO’s Make the top rate of income tax, capital gains and more importantly corporation tax higher. If you’re a corporation with 60 million in profits which you just send to share holders. If the tax office takes a much bigger cut of your profit it actively encourages businesses to invest that money back into the business either via staff or newer Equiptment. That is a big part of why productivity in the UK has slumped. If CEO pay is linked to worker pay there is more reason for the CEO to make sure everyone is paid well.

1% WEALTH TAX - VOTE FOR GREEN PARTY! High levels of economic inequality are detrimental to society. Here's why: Social unrest: When a large portion of the population struggles to meet basic needs while a small group enjoys vast wealth, it can breed resentment and social unrest. This can lead to protests, crime, and even political instability. Reduced social mobility: Economic inequality can make it harder for people from disadvantaged backgrounds to climb the social ladder. If access to quality education, healthcare, and housing depends heavily on income, it can trap people in poverty. Lower economic growth: Some research suggests that high inequality can actually hinder economic growth. A society with a large, struggling underclass may have less consumer spending and a smaller pool of skilled workers. Health problems: There is a correlation between economic inequality and poorer health outcomes for the less wealthy. This can be due to factors like lack of access to healthcare, stress, and unhealthy living conditions. Erosion of trust: When a large gap exists between rich and poor, it can erode social trust. People may feel the system is rigged and lose faith in institutions.

There has never been any civilisation in history that hasn't had to deal with some form of bullying. I'm not defending bullying, but I don't see how the government can do much to stop it. If anything it's down to headteachers of schools to prevent it when possible, but also it's the parents of the kids that are bullies to parent their kids better

@@stephfoxwell4620 if your criticism is that they don't front-load independence as a key issue, that would be valid criticism. Crazy far-left policies like nationalising Tata Steel in Port Talbot?

On the 10:1 pay ratio, as far as I can remember, that's a policy that was first proposed by George Orwell in the second half of The Road to Wigan Pier.. it always stuck with me as a good idea since I first read it about a decade ago, glad to hear it's back in the public discourse.
I have voted for Scottish Greens because of their commitment to decarbonisation, UBI, EV infrastructure and nationalising energy companies, but have reservations about them because they have no education policy for the UK outside Scotland and support independence, which I don’t mind in theory but in practice would cause major problems for my family over the border and my fiancée’s visa status.

Aaron should be the next PM, great shout again with trying to grow tourism. Levelling up could be used to give coastal areas a makeover and redevelop their tourist economy; even consider Cornwall where they have a lot of popular surfing areas they could stop pumping crap into the sea and try to host international events !!
Nuclear energy is not zero-carbon, the carbon cost of building, commissioning, mining and refining fuel, transport and storage of fuel (UK has no natural uranium deposits), de-commissioning and waste storage render it a far cry from zero-carbon.
Great opinions from you Aaron about rewilding. I hope you do your best towards that and follow George Monbiot’s advice about whether you should eat meat or animal products.
You know I feel really old Ash? When I was at school a lot of families (including me) didn’t have a phone at all. I don’t think anyone had even thought about mobile phones. 😮
On pay scales: the key in the private sector should be transparency, allowing the customers/market to reward / punish those companies with equal/unequal pay scales. E.g. have legislation that mandates it be displayed on product packaging and/or company financial report and/or websites & relevant marketing materials. To make sure bonuses are also fairly /equitably distributed, separate individual bonuses from company bonuses. Individual bonuses could possibly be capped at say 20/30/50% of each individual’s annual salary, whereas company bonuses are distributed equitably between all employees based on the company’s pay scales, i.e. if Telsa’s board want to give $20bn of its profits back to its employees, it goes equitably to all employees & not just to the top 1% of management. A company’s performance (such as Tesla’s) is due to the contribution off all the employees & now t just the CEO.
Ash and Aaron a brilliant summary and comparison of main party promises. It has made me realise that the exercise you have undertaken should be a continuous framework against which all participating contenders are compared. Obviously that would start an argument about which issues should be up for comparison in a UK issues framework. That way contenders could not bury issues that they want to pull the wool over the public eyes concerning. There should be a set date date when all manifestos are made public and a set date when all manifestos are compared with the UK framework of issues which are decided by the people by a referendum on issues perhaps one year before every election. The preliminary referendum could be perhaps 10 blank boxes in which people wrote 'one word' issues which concern them. We need new thinking and it really is essential to do as you both have done and do a comparison.
first issue not liked by me because there is Galloway, like or hate him but he is around and leaving him out is dishonest. You should have rather left the Labour manifesto out because that is only a fairy tale.k
@@HollowSun That is missing the point. Why not feature SWP when featuring the manifestos? Starmer is not Labour when you think about him being sure the party will not win when he endorsed the last manifesto which he did not endorse. Or did he. I am confused. Is this manifesto a Labour manifesto at all? Two child benefit cap, no tax the rich, yes nuclear deterrent, all conservative talking points.
@@vidnosh7406 I think you're the one who's missing the point, they're discussing the manifestos that are important and relevant to this election (I will say I think it's weird to include the SNP and not Plaid); but they're not just picking manifestos they like. I don't know on the whole whether I prefer Galloway to the current labour party, I have huge issues with both; but the point is that what labour says right now really matters. Galloway doesn't.
@@HollowSun even though you seem to have the glass bowl I so solemnly miss when ticking my lottery numbers, I still think you are missing the point. Starmer is not relevant as a labour leader. He is promoted for not being Labour. That will show during the election, like it did with Blliar after the Iraq war.. That is why I think his manifesto is irrelevant, even more irrelevant than that of the SWP. There is no Labour manifest with Srarmer, not the one I read, at least. PPI in the guise of an environment fund witch doesn't even try to hide the purpose of privatizing the profit and socializing the risk, the CEO of a private health care company running on a Labpur ticket playing out the vision for the NHS. The barge BIbi will stay with Starmer but definitely not with Labour, and so on. But anyway I think we disagree and that is fine. Just for fairness it would have been necessary though.
@@HollowSun I still think you are wrong but the censoring is just too much to make a coherent argument and Starmer is not Labour, he is promoted because he isn't. The so called manifesto is all but Labour policies and it will show after the election. Just for the sake of fairness it would have been necessary to put up the SWP manifest, regardless of the fact that it is more authentic than the Starmer one.
It's a very weird and uncomfortable hearing policies from the Reform manifesto and thinking "Yeah actually that's not a bad idea." I think if it was coming from anyone but the party of Nigel Farage I would be more entertaining of them. I'm still planning fo vote Green though.
Some of the policies are good though: - No income tax below £20k - only party that is actually looking out for low-medium wage earners here - Net 0 migration - mass migration has had too bad of an impact on house/rent prices, cultural issues, traffic and pressure on NHS etc - Proportional representation. Green are just detached from reality. All their pledges are to just to spend spend spend, ignoring the terrible fiscal/debt position we are in. More climate policy spending is going to be a final nail in the coffin for the country with no tangible impact to global temp/CO2 levels
@@OLLYZOG I will say that they can say that with the knowledge they won't have to back it up, I think they're just trying to shore up support for a bigger push in 2029. I do NOT trust them.
National Insurance originally was set up as a health and sickness fund and no reason why NI can not be a hypothecated earmarked tax already paid by paid wirking people focused on health social and public health and also used to help develop and support a National Care Service.
In addition to Aaron's statements about the E.U., there are overtures at the moment to start properly enforcing the national government spending limits within the E.U., the looseness of which was one of the soft left arguments for maintaining/rejoining.
That's what stopped me from watching their videos too. They seem to be pro Labour now, which makes me wonder if they've been paid by Labour lol. They show surprising disdain for anything Scottish and Welsh, and surprisingly nationalistic when it comes to England.
I think Aaron nailed the Labour manifesto on the quango's as it was the consistent theme throughout. It seems to me they plan to set up a lot of talking shops to employ their cronies and shovel money that would be better used on frontline services. I have to ask what have Labour been doing for the last 5 years if their plan for government is to develop strategies to fix the countries problems, surely they should already have those strategies in place !!
How do you know immigration is going to fall? I’ve heard you say this a few times, but you’ve not said what predictors you’re using to support this conclusion?
Well the economy is really what matters. In my opinion the government should have as small a role as possible in social matters. Sunak’s problem is that he hasn’t really improved the economy
I've been surprised at the dismissive and disrespectful attitude Novara seem to have with respect to Scottish politics and the Scottish government. Like most of the mainstream right wing media down there, you guys are woefully uninformed about Scottish politics and often just downright disrespectful. I expected better. It seems to be the the more Novara has grown, the more they're just becoming like every other media outlet. Anything for clicks and views not to mention their underhanded treatment towards George Galloway.
Novara is surprisingly nationalistic when it comes to England. Just look at the dismissal of the SNP, and Wales' Plaid cymru party. The leaders debate last week really showed the hostility and ignorance for these independence parties. Democratic when it suits, like other news outlets.
Whilst I mostly agree with your comment, looking at the rest of the English media, I think Novara fall on the side of "Ignorance" rather than "malice". They speak with the usual dismissals because everyone they ever interact with is in the London/South of England political bubble and that, consciously or not, informs their biases and presumptions regarding Scotttish Poltiics. It's a symptom of a wider issue and Novara at least don't come across as dripping with contempt and derision like most of the London media, which....is something I guess. Instead, they just stick to being tiresomely incorrect on Scottish issues because they don't know any better. Mind you, I did stop my regular donation to Novara after seeing that they're apparantly not willing to inform themselves and are just taking the usual London media lines... There's only so much you one can tolerate from what ought to be a decidedly left wing outlet, after all.
@@CurtalA 💯 I've noticed it more and more. They sort of have a sneering attitude towards the other nations. Very London centric and self centred. If it's all about England and London, they should market themselves as that. Don't try to cover politics in other parts of the UK and expose their woeful ignorance with an analysis that is utterly laughable and clearly just an opinion off the top of their head without any basis in fact or evidence whatsoever.

How about no borrowing no tax increases but simply putting people to work in meaningful jobs and printing the money to give them a share of the extra wealth they have created?
@@Shadowman4710 there’s no harm in a wealth tax except that the rich would object strongly. You’ve got to realise that money is not wealth. Money is a legal system for distributing and exchanging access to wealth. Wealth is people making the goods and delivering the services that we need and want.
The issue is that Sunak's, Starmer's and Reform have a reputation for acting very differently from whatever they promise. Essentially the bad stuff they put in the manifesto, like the Tories' extremism on removing rights and forcing our youngsters to learn to murder are what they intend to do. Starmer's Tories being Tories policywise and pushing austerity and privatisation of the NHS and Energy... Of course, none of them mention their continued support for the on-going genocide. It's got to be Greens or socialist independent. Of course not having a growth model when growth is what is harming the country is a good thing!
In Scotland it will be interesting to see if there is a decline in the SNPs seats whether this is actually a big decline in their vote, or Tories switching to Labour and therefore making a more united unionist vote?

Greens not so ambitious on renewables but probably more realistic. The grid is full we have a large community owned solar farm with planning permission but it is likely the grid won't be ready to take the power till 2037. That is the same for most renewables projects I'm aware of. So unless something drastic happens which no one is proposing then I can't see how we will be 100% renewable powered anytime soon.
Not quite. These countries do not meet the euro convergence criteria. Once they do they are OBLIGATED to adopt the euro as outlined in the Maastricht treaty. Only Denmark will ever be exempt. Thus the uk going back in will certainly meet the requirements outlined in stage three and we will have no choice but to join it. In order to bring stability to the rules and procedures we cannot just cherry pick bits we like
Climate spending will not improve our lives in the medium to long term. The continued crazy fiscal policy will doom us in the medium term. And our contribution to world CO2 levels is tiny, only efforts from big players will make any tangible difference.

But because they aren’t English they aren’t considered relevant. Novara’s constant derisory remarks regarding Plaid are also derisory towards Wales/Cymru. We are to be ruled by a democracy, not to be a part of it.
@@matthewevans107 reform and greens are standing across the country, plaid is a welsh regionalist party, the only regionalist party novara has included is the snp which makes sense because they have the 3rd most seats of any party

as a Pommie Australian, very disappointed that there was no dicussion at all about electoral reform. The only other country with an electoral system as absurd as the UK is Belo Russia.
Needs - weekend voting, preferential voting, ideally compulsory voting, accesible prepoll voting.
And a mix of local MPs and proportional representation of parties.
Till that is fixed, your elections will always be an absurd joke, your parliament so unrepresentative.
Novara is absolutely biased. I have seen you give reform a platform but not workers party.
No Plaid Cymru mention, perennial reminder that the etymology of ‘Welsh’ derives from the old English word meaning ‘outsider’ or ‘foreigner’. Always forgotten.
Im a Welsh nationalist, but ultimately Welsh politics is far less influential towards British politics than Scottish politics is.
@ThepPixel the video is an hour and a half long, they could spare us a second.
@@ThepPixelPlaid is the only party with experience of being in opposition to Starmer’s Labour. That alone makes them more relevant than the SNP or Greens.

Maybe you should've built a wall like the Scots 😂
First off why give Farage more airtime and not Worker's Party? No fan of George either but at least he's not a fascist
Pretty sure it’s because reform is polling over 10 percent while galloway is polling less than 1
@@MariamPassionfruit Well, I don't see Novara's role as being here just to parrot the mainstream media narrative and agenda but to cover perspectives that are at least somewhat left leaning, anti fascist and anti imperialist. They've shown a worrying drift rightwards recently. Farage is polling over 10% BECAUSE the MSM has been platforming him for years. Don't give him any more oxygen.
@@MariamPassionfruitand that’s because mainstream media give Farage and whatever he calls his party favourable representation. Novara say they are going to report on this differently but are reporting on it exactly like the mainstream media.
People in the LBGTQ community would disagree with that.
@@KevenHutchinson-gt1nn Last I checked Farage has the same positions as Galloway on that 🤔
I am wondering why you didn't say much at all about Workers Party & George Galloway??? Any reason Why?
Because WP won't get any seats so irrelevant and George Galloway will only get a small few. Very low % of overall UK polls.

No plaid, not worth watching then. Plaid Cymru have some real progressive policies that Westminster parties could learn from. Ignoring Wales means you’re no better than main media outlets. Shame on Novara.
How could we have wasted our opportunity? Westminster refused to let us even have a say in this so called "voluntary union"
Voluntary my arse.
Imagine the uproar if England had to ask permission for the EU to have a vote to leave?
The ignorance of English journalism is off the charts.
So true. Novara are surprisingly nationalistic when it comes to England! Anti democratic when it suits them.
@@CurtalA YES, but they are of the left like No Justice , and are good at pointing out the hypocrisy of MPs and give much needed balance to MSM.

How are the government supposed to stop bullying? It's a thing that has happened in every society throughout history literally ever. There has never been any civilisation in history that hasn't had to deal with some form of bullying. I'm not defending bullying, but I don't see how the government can do much to stop it. If anything it's down to headteachers of schools to prevent it when possible, but also it's the parents of the kids that are bullies to parent their kids better
Stop teaching fake history in schools.
Yeah I'm not sure how you expect the government to stop bullying lol
pleased some organisation doing this. However do you not have any workers’ party viewers. Why Reform and Green but not WP. This is like MSM.
It's a shame you haven't covered Plaid Cymru's! I know it's regional but it's one of the best I've read so far
@@franklyevo Doesn't mention Welsh independence just far left nonsense.
"Plaid Cymru believes that independence is the best way to deliver real fairness and ambition for Wales. Independence would give us the levers we really need to grow and green our economy, and make governments in Wales fully accountable to the people of Wales for the decisions that they make."
Page goes on with loads of information...
Caveated at the end with
"We believe that independence for Wales is a decision to be made by the people of Wales, and the power to call a referendum on the constitutional future of Wales should lie with the Senedd in Cardiff, and not with the UK Government."
Go give it a read!
@@stephfoxwell4620 if your criticism is that they don't front-load independence as a key issue, that would be valid criticism. Crazy far-left policies like nationalising Tata Steel in Port Talbot?

You shouldn't have bothered with The Cons or Labour Manifesto, that is like pedalling Lies.
On the 10:1 pay ratio, as far as I can remember, that's a policy that was first proposed by George Orwell in the second half of The Road to Wigan Pier.. it always stuck with me as a good idea since I first read it about a decade ago, glad to hear it's back in the public discourse.
I'm not happy either. You discuss Reform's manifesto but not the Worker's Party.

I have voted for Scottish Greens because of their commitment to decarbonisation, UBI, EV infrastructure and nationalising energy companies, but have reservations about them because they have no education policy for the UK outside Scotland and support independence, which I don’t mind in theory but in practice would cause major problems for my family over the border and my fiancée’s visa status.

Nuclear power is not 0 carbon. You need to mine uranium to power it. At most it is low carbon
by that metric there is no 0 carbon energy then. Wind mills and solar power also requires a lot of stuff that needs to be mined.
So are you saying carbon fuels would need to be used in the mining process? All renewables require machinery/manufacturing/resource extraction :D
On the Salmond quote, a bunnet is a hat. The jacobites wore blue ones.
Aaron should be the next PM, great shout again with trying to grow tourism. Levelling up could be used to give coastal areas a makeover and redevelop their tourist economy; even consider Cornwall where they have a lot of popular surfing areas they could stop pumping crap into the sea and try to host international events !!
Nuclear energy is not zero-carbon, the carbon cost of building, commissioning, mining and refining fuel, transport and storage of fuel (UK has no natural uranium deposits), de-commissioning and waste storage render it a far cry from zero-carbon.
And we continue to kick the issue of waste down the road for future generations to solve
Love you
Great opinions from you Aaron about rewilding. I hope you do your best towards that and follow George Monbiot’s advice about whether you should eat meat or animal products.
You know I feel really old Ash? When I was at school a lot of families (including me) didn’t have a phone at all. I don’t think anyone had even thought about mobile phones. 😮
On pay scales: the key in the private sector should be transparency, allowing the customers/market to reward / punish those companies with equal/unequal pay scales. E.g. have legislation that mandates it be displayed on product packaging and/or company financial report and/or websites & relevant marketing materials.
To make sure bonuses are also fairly /equitably distributed, separate individual bonuses from company bonuses. Individual bonuses could possibly be capped at say 20/30/50% of each individual’s annual salary, whereas company bonuses are distributed equitably between all employees based on the company’s pay scales, i.e. if Telsa’s board want to give $20bn of its profits back to its employees, it goes equitably to all employees & not just to the top 1% of management. A company’s performance (such as Tesla’s) is due to the contribution off all the employees & now t just the CEO.
shareholders pay ceo
Ash and Aaron a brilliant summary and comparison of main party promises. It has made me realise that the exercise you have undertaken should be a continuous framework against which all participating contenders are compared. Obviously that would start an argument about which issues should be up for comparison in a UK issues framework. That way contenders could not bury issues that they want to pull the wool over the public eyes concerning. There should be a set date date when all manifestos are made public and a set date when all manifestos are compared with the UK framework of issues which are decided by the people by a referendum on issues perhaps one year before every election. The preliminary referendum could be perhaps 10 blank boxes in which people wrote 'one word' issues which concern them. We need new thinking and it really is essential to do as you both have done and do a comparison.
first issue not liked by me because there is Galloway, like or hate him but he is around and leaving him out is dishonest. You should have rather left the Labour manifesto out because that is only a fairy tale.k
Call me crazy but I think Labour might have a slightly bigger impact on the country in the coming five years than Galloway. Just a hunch.
@@HollowSun
That is missing the point. Why not feature SWP when featuring the manifestos? Starmer is not Labour when you think about him being sure the party will not win when he endorsed the last manifesto which he did not endorse. Or did he. I am confused. Is this manifesto a Labour manifesto at all? Two child benefit cap, no tax the rich, yes nuclear deterrent, all conservative talking points.
@@vidnosh7406 I think you're the one who's missing the point, they're discussing the manifestos that are important and relevant to this election (I will say I think it's weird to include the SNP and not Plaid); but they're not just picking manifestos they like. I don't know on the whole whether I prefer Galloway to the current labour party, I have huge issues with both; but the point is that what labour says right now really matters. Galloway doesn't.
@@HollowSun
even though you seem to have the glass bowl I so solemnly miss when ticking my lottery numbers, I still think you are missing the point. Starmer is not relevant as a labour leader. He is promoted for not being Labour. That will show during the election, like it did with Blliar after the Iraq war.. That is why I think his manifesto is irrelevant, even more irrelevant than that of the SWP. There is no Labour manifest with Srarmer, not the one I read, at least. PPI in the guise of an environment fund witch doesn't even try to hide the purpose of privatizing the profit and socializing the risk, the CEO of a private health care company running on a Labpur ticket playing out the vision for the NHS. The barge BIbi will stay with Starmer but definitely not with Labour, and so on. But anyway I think we disagree and that is fine. Just for fairness it would have been necessary though.
@@HollowSun
I still think you are wrong but the censoring is just too much to make a coherent argument and Starmer is not Labour, he is promoted because he isn't. The so called manifesto is all but Labour policies and it will show after the election. Just for the sake of fairness it would have been necessary to put up the SWP manifest, regardless of the fact that it is more authentic than the Starmer one.
It's a very weird and uncomfortable hearing policies from the Reform manifesto and thinking "Yeah actually that's not a bad idea." I think if it was coming from anyone but the party of Nigel Farage I would be more entertaining of them. I'm still planning fo vote Green though.
Some of the policies are good though:
- No income tax below £20k - only party that is actually looking out for low-medium wage earners here
- Net 0 migration - mass migration has had too bad of an impact on house/rent prices, cultural issues, traffic and pressure on NHS etc
- Proportional representation.
Green are just detached from reality. All their pledges are to just to spend spend spend, ignoring the terrible fiscal/debt position we are in. More climate policy spending is going to be a final nail in the coffin for the country with no tangible impact to global temp/CO2 levels
@@OLLYZOG I will say that they can say that with the knowledge they won't have to back it up, I think they're just trying to shore up support for a bigger push in 2029. I do NOT trust them.
National Insurance originally was set up as a health and sickness fund and no reason why NI can not be a hypothecated earmarked tax already paid by paid wirking people focused on health social and public health and also used to help develop and support a National Care Service.
In addition to Aaron's statements about the E.U., there are overtures at the moment to start properly enforcing the national government spending limits within the E.U., the looseness of which was one of the soft left arguments for maintaining/rejoining.
Where is George Galloway? Please find him. If you search hard, you will. Good luck.
Novara are liberals, George Galloway is an anti imperialist socialist. They are not on the same side
Nearly stopped watching after the anti Scottish behaviour the other day.
That's what stopped me from watching their videos too. They seem to be pro Labour now, which makes me wonder if they've been paid by Labour lol. They show surprising disdain for anything Scottish and Welsh, and surprisingly nationalistic when it comes to England.
Two words sums them all up, Lies ,Rubbish.
Bastani is the type of person to be satisfied by his own farts. Quite arrogant imo
I think Aaron nailed the Labour manifesto on the quango's as it was the consistent theme throughout. It seems to me they plan to set up a lot of talking shops to employ their cronies and shovel money that would be better used on frontline services. I have to ask what have Labour been doing for the last 5 years if their plan for government is to develop strategies to fix the countries problems, surely they should already have those strategies in place !!
How do you know immigration is going to fall? I’ve heard you say this a few times, but you’ve not said what predictors you’re using to support this conclusion?
Really astonishing when sunak stood up and said he’d delivered because his primary objective was improve economy, he has no other vision for Britain
Well the economy is really what matters. In my opinion the government should have as small a role as possible in social matters. Sunak’s problem is that he hasn’t really improved the economy
I've been surprised at the dismissive and disrespectful attitude Novara seem to have with respect to Scottish politics and the Scottish government. Like most of the mainstream right wing media down there, you guys are woefully uninformed about Scottish politics and often just downright disrespectful. I expected better.
It seems to be the the more Novara has grown, the more they're just becoming like every other media outlet. Anything for clicks and views not to mention their underhanded treatment towards George Galloway.
Novara is surprisingly nationalistic when it comes to England. Just look at the dismissal of the SNP, and Wales' Plaid cymru party. The leaders debate last week really showed the hostility and ignorance for these independence parties. Democratic when it suits, like other news outlets.
Whilst I mostly agree with your comment, looking at the rest of the English media, I think Novara fall on the side of "Ignorance" rather than "malice". They speak with the usual dismissals because everyone they ever interact with is in the London/South of England political bubble and that, consciously or not, informs their biases and presumptions regarding Scotttish Poltiics.
It's a symptom of a wider issue and Novara at least don't come across as dripping with contempt and derision like most of the London media, which....is something I guess.
Instead, they just stick to being tiresomely incorrect on Scottish issues because they don't know any better.
Mind you, I did stop my regular donation to Novara after seeing that they're apparantly not willing to inform themselves and are just taking the usual London media lines...
There's only so much you one can tolerate from what ought to be a decidedly left wing outlet, after all.
@@CurtalA 💯 I've noticed it more and more. They sort of have a sneering attitude towards the other nations. Very London centric and self centred.

How about no borrowing no tax increases but simply putting people to work in meaningful jobs and printing the money to give them a share of the extra wealth they have created?
That's going to have to include a wealth tax.
@@Shadowman4710 there’s no harm in a wealth tax except that the rich would object strongly. You’ve got to realise that money is not wealth. Money is a legal system for distributing and exchanging access to wealth. Wealth is people making the goods and delivering the services that we need and want.
The issue is that Sunak's, Starmer's and Reform have a reputation for acting very differently from whatever they promise. Essentially the bad stuff they put in the manifesto, like the Tories' extremism on removing rights and forcing our youngsters to learn to murder are what they intend to do.
Starmer's Tories being Tories policywise and pushing austerity and privatisation of the NHS and Energy...
Of course, none of them mention their continued support for the on-going genocide.

Greens not so ambitious on renewables but probably more realistic. The grid is full we have a large community owned solar farm with planning permission but it is likely the grid won't be ready to take the power till 2037.
