Politics today is really not about "humane policies" whatever they may be, but about encouraging growth in the economy to keep the populace, or a portion of them, in the standard of living to which they have unfortunately become accustomed.
Keeping an ageing population, treating newly diagnosed ailments, physical and mental, defending workers rights, health and safety in the workplace, educating idiots, etc etc, while fewer and fewer of us contribute to the economy.
THAT is the great problem which must be solved.
Ideas on a postcard please.....as they may be deleted otherwise.
