It's going to be some job that in reality will take decades. After all, the country is still broken from the after effects of Thatcher. But what can they do for starters?
Labour ain’t gonna do it. The people of this country needs to wrestle it back from the clutches of greedy corrupt politicians.It's going to be some job that in reality will take decades. After all, the country is still broken from the after effects of Thatcher. But what can they do for starters?
Spot on. We need systemic change, an alternative to capitalism, but so does the whole world, otherwise inequality will get worse and the earth will be destroyed. It's obvious because the poor and the earth itself are telling us so. But how do you go about changing something so embedded, with so many structures supporting it? Start with bringing essential resources into public control and put the planet first, and re-educate. Unfortunately, we are a long way from doing that due to politics and corporate power. The end.In my opinion we are witnessing the failure of capitalism and it will take a bit of time for people to get used to that after years of indoctrination.
An alternative will emerge but Labour need to concentrate on being seen to be redistributing wealth and making the lives of ordinary people better in as many ways as possible.
BR was a beacon of efficiency and cost-effectiveness in the late 80s. That came from within the industry, too.Nationalising services that have been destroyed in the pursuit of shareholder dividends is a decent place to start. The suggestion that British Rail was worse than the current chaos has no long been debunked and there’s no reason the mistakes made during the decline of BR would be repeated. That’s just one service, energy and water should have been renationalised long ago.
Unfortunately all control and decision making now is at the behest of the city since deregulation of the financial markets. Radical solutions proposed by labour to re-adjust the wealth divide in the UK will just be trashed by the markets. Real power has been devolved from government into the hands of hedge fund scumbags like rishi mates, they are now judge and jury to all economic policies.Spot on.

I hope your right we need governments to take a stake in uk infrastructure and public sector services such as new renewable projects. Its been my biggest bug bear that we have sold or privatised everything of worth for a quick buck in this country to private investors many of which are foreign owned.That’s what they want you to think, that’s it’s not worth bothering with and we’re all knackered whichever way we slice it. The truth is we have to re nationalise some services because they’re already failing so leaving them as they are further trashes and already crumbling part of the economy. The government brought the east coast mainline back to Profitability showing it doesn’t take very long once shareholder interests are not the main priority. The state still owns a major stake in Nat West, another example of the private sector needing the public sector more than the other way around.
