A POLITICAL POST

Let's not not get into the left wing right wing debate and the working class. If you work for a living you are working class no matter if you live in a semi detached house in Ingleby Barwick or you are self employed on the graft traveling up and down the country paying as little tax as the system allows.. whilst your paymaster makes a ton off your work avoiding national insurance contributions and can sack you off without as much as a wink or a glance. We're all on the same team.

1. Our main goal 'Democracy' one person one vote, it should go without saying, introduce proportional representation (STV) for parliamentary elections and local elections.

2. Lets roll back privatisation of the NHS right back! All this save the talk of protect the NHS means nothing if we don't roll back the Health and Social Care Act 2012.

3. Free education. Education should be a right not a privilege, our kids are being left back having to pay fees. Educations shouldn't be a privilege only available to the rich.

4. For jobs. Investment in infrastructure, give our money straight to the working man to improve our country. Lets start a green industrial revolution.

5. Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, and Viacom. Tighten the rules on media ownership, no individual or company owns more than 20% of any media market.

6. No Second jobs for MPs, including a ban on holding paid directorships or consultancies. Decisions need to be made outside of what might benefit any certain individual.

7. 'Seven Lords a Leaping' a policy that is prominent on the right wing but be can all agree that unelected officials cannot possibly play a part in a modern day democracy.

8. We hate paying tax, but not more than having cooperation's and party donors being gifted our money via tax loopholes or giveaways. Make them pay, Take it back.

9. One of our main strikers. Just because you are working for Mike Ashley doesn't mean you shouldn't have the same working rights afforded to any other man, woman or otherwise.

10. Another potential striker constantly setting us up for the win, feeding into the rest of our economy deserves nothing less than £10 an hour. A living wage.

11. Bringing public services back into public ownership. We've already paid for it.. why pay a company propped up by our government more money for what we already paid for?

Whilst most of us would agree with the sentiment there are not too many MPs would vote for something that removes their privelidges.

Therein lies the problem of parliamentary reform.
 
Not wanting to sound funny or anything... but Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, etc work for a living... they are still working class?

Another common fallacy. Someone with a degree or higher from a traditional university who works in a profession is Middle Class. Look up Middle Class in the Dictionary. Doctors, GP's, Surgeons all work hard, but they are Middle Class by definition. Ditto Barristers, Solicitors, some MP's ;)

The delusion that if you work you are working class has become very widespread. Middle Class definition was "highly educated and work in a profession" before access to higher education was greatly widened. The margins then became blurred so the old system was replaced by the socio-economic classification grades A, B, C1, C2, D and E produced by the ONS (UK Office for National Statistics). C1 = lower middle class has the highest number of people in it :cool:
 
There are one or two sorta snidey reponses to, what most, would consider reasonable societal goals. Whilst working <> working class, I am sure Newy knows that already and was simplifying for the benefit of a social media platform.

He categorically stated that if you work you are working class at some length. It was unequivocal
