Thread Name: BS: Tory party conference
Subject: RE: BS: Tory party conference
Keith does belong to a majority, most people in the UK are "centreists"....Keith expounds a centre political philosophy, one which I sometimes disagree with, but he is civil and an excellent debater.   He cuts through all the myths which the soft left love and hold on to, even when these myths are proved to be political idiocy, like unregulated immigration from the EU.
Or the pretence that we have any real alternative to the Conservative Party, if we are determined to run a "democracy" funded by the Capitalist system.

I thought the election of a mild socialist might have changed your minds about the charade which has been Party politics for the last few decades, but no! you just fight the same old faux battles, the moth eaten ideologies which have all failed miserably.

Can't you admit even to yourselves the state that society is in?
Youth unemployment, food banks, bankrupt NHS, wage stagnation, huge numbers of immigrants driving down wages......why do you think this is happening?   Evil Tories? you must be fucking mad!   We no longer balance the bloody books, it costs money and takes time to train our people, many are mired in a benefits swamp, where work is so poorly paid that a young couple with children cannot lead a normal life.

Start looking beyond the soft left ideology, the view that we can be personally well off in an economic system in decline.

Take on board that everyone must be made to realise that our present wasteful lifestyle is completely unsustainable. This system is dead. It is an Ex System.
