mommysboy Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) If the Cons. had any integrity whatsoever they would revoke Article 50, because we neither have a PM or administration that is likely to see the process through the important first two years. It is also the only strategic position the Gov. can adopt to avoid complete defeat at the next election, as there is a growing sense in the country that no deal is the worst possible deal. It would spell the end of the Tories for 30 years or more imo. This utter fiasco has gone on long enough and is now tangibly hurting the country.

Are you old enough to remember when the railways was nationalised before, what I can remember it was a total shambles, as was all the other industries that was publicly owned, especially when the militant unions were involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another point: Liberal capitalism is last century's thing- it's gone now and simply won't cut it for the future where there will be limited growth.

Everything was a shambles prior to UK opening up to globalisation- it wasn't just a Labour thing. Global investment from USA and continental Europe allowed us to learn new practices, and more importantly fund our industry better, which is something that the Tories still fail to do to this very day.

BTW, I'm no fan of Brown but some say his bold actions saved the world from meltdown. Blame someone? The Bankers! Bastards! No, I am not an economist by profession but I am familiar with the Keynesian theory and now that you have mentioned him, I am more familiar with your position. The Keynesian fiscal remedy ups demand and supply but each round of stimulus damages prices so badly that successive rounds are required, eventually producing crippling debt and finally out of control inflation. Keynes was a short-term idealist, just like Corbyn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbyn is going to be around a lot longer than 15 minutes more. He may have lost the third General Election in a row for Labour but the general view is that political momentum is now on his side. If the Tory Party cannot contain its internal conflicts over Brexit then this will dwarf whatever Corbyn's views and policies are re nationalisation and the rest and the Conservatives will go down as they did in 1997, notwithstanding that Corbyn is not Blair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is one thing that the populist right and the hard left have in common it is that they are both opposed to globalisation. Its nationalism Vs nationalisation. Both deadbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
