The Establishment have kept Left against Right to fulfil their own ends long enough.
Perhaps it is now time for the Right to join forces with the Left to bring down hated establishment once and for all?
Here’s a few things that would make me vote Labour for the first time in my life at the next general election:
(1) Cut Ukraine loose, save 5 billions per pop and use that money for public services, fully funding “inflation +2% each year” pay rises for the next parliament’s duration.
(2) Cut all other “overseas aid” to the bone, causing the incoming recession to be only among the warmongering industries, and their “camp followers”.
(3) Charge a 1% levy on all financial transactions that involve sending sterling payments abroad - to be paid by international banks.
(4) Reduce income tax to 15p/£ which is non-maskable, in that everyone is PAYE, no more “Self-Employed Offsetting” for taxes.
(5) Abolish VAT outright.
(6) Turn Britain from a Dictatorship against Taxpayers into a Taxpayer’s Democracy where each citizen gets a block of “college” votes the same number as the percentage tax they pay. This disenfranchises both Non-Doms at the top and the unproductive benefits population on the bottom. They are not paying in, so why should they get the same number of votes as people that have paid in their entire lives?
(7) Re-classify PENSIONS so they are earned income rather than Unearned Benefits as is the tide towards at present.
(8) Improve and reform the benefits system so that those deserving (Married people working a low paid job) - get the most - whilst those undeserving (Young, unmarried, fit, and choosing to be layabouts) - get the least. You’ve lost your vote after all, so why not make such disenfranchised types “content enough to not protest” whilst we’re at it?
(9) Leave the “Right to Strike” alone - it is it’s own worse punishment “as is”.
(10) Nightly curfew - Must produce a less than one-month old payslip to be out at night, alongside valid ID.
(11) Double tobacco and alcohol duty.
(12) Do not issue passports to persons who have not paid taxes for a full year. Do not admit foreign passports to those who have not got a job lined up already (An employer Sponsor required on entry to the UK)
Now the interesting thing is here, that Keir Starmer has more than one of these up his sleeve already - but he dare not admit them to his core Labour voters, as they might object, rather than ex-Tory voters like myself - that he’s actually trying to win over!
…All we’ve had out of him so far alas, is “Let’s carry on with Brexit” which isn’t going to take any voters away from the Libdems - let alone the SNP and Conservatives - which he simply MUST achieve to win a full majority at the next election…
If he faceplants over this, I can see the rather strange future where we either have a “Government of National Unity” (Keir Starmer as PM in coalition with Sunak going back to being Chancellor again) which would make the third largest party the official opposition (Reform party need only overtake the Libdem/SNP vote tally to do this…) OR Keir Starmer gets offered a very good coalition deal with the same Reform Party who insist upon not having any cabinet posts, leaving us with a full Labour government in all but name. RP won’t then move against Labour unless they shelve Brexit, which of course Keir Starmer has already spoken out on NOT doing.
“Workers over 50” thus become THE “Core Voters” of this country, rather than wealthy householders, pensioners, and the militant activist bloc.
