    Can I ‘yes, and’ that with the point that simply giving more money to poor people is now pretty well established to be good for both them and the economy

      Agreed.

      Unfortunatly politics is not that simple.

      Simply giving money requires convincing voters. Or 5 years from now. Everyone will vote the arseholes again.

      This is the main issue. Cobvincing voters to actually support a plan.

      The left as a whole is far to devided. Even the slightedt disagreement seems to split tjhe vote. Where as stopping the left is all it takes to pull the right together.

      Unfortunatly under fptp such splits are unelectable. And with such splits. Any other voting system aint gonna happen.

        It’s an issue. All I can say is that change has to come from within, and for me that means being more willing to “march with” lefties I don’t always agree with, as long as there’s something important we do agree about. If someone’s a bit tank-ish, I’ll gladly shake their hand when it comes to voting for proportional representation, for example.
