Re:

If you want a really good education system, why not copy a nation with one (there is no copyright, you are allowed to copy), like Finland: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2 ... nd-daycare

There is no streaming, no league tables, little testing until the latter stages and very importantly, no fee paying, private alternative. Not having a better fee paying education system for the wealthy to send their children to, ensures that the public system available to everyone is greatly improved.

Rather than flailing around trying to come up with working systems for government, education, health, etc., why not look around the world and cherry pick the best bits and copy them? Now in the year 2017 why isn't every nation a utopia for it's citizens? I have my suspicions.

Labour borrow less per year in office than the Tories. So they are definitely not pissing it up a wall. Pay back more debt as well.

Labour are usually left a growing economy to work with.

The Tories really should have nailed the 'cuts' lie by now. We're still spending more than we ever have. Still spending more than we take. And every year we do that debt increases. Interest payments increase. When interest rates rise, well those payments increase again. Possibly significantly. And ultimately, somewhere down the line taxes will have to increase.

Labour's answer? To borrow hundreds of billions more, dress it up a 'investment', kid on it's not really borrowing, free stuff for everyone and job's a good 'un. It's quite incredible. And forget the 'top 5%' bollocks, everyone but the benefits squad will pay in the end.

Re:

The 'growing economy' is the central fetish of capitalism, so you can be sure that as long as that system lasts, nobody will ever admit that the 'economy' has shrunk. The 'economy' will still be 'growing' when your grandchildren are working twenty hour days at the nationwide landfill site your 'country' has become, in order to pay off a three-generation mortgage on a used bin-liner.

As before, the missus' has worked for local guv for 2 decades and has seen first hand what each party does to their people at a local level.

She likes Corbyn but cannot justify voting for a Labour guv after the last lot, even if it was 7 years past.

Aye, recessions are rarely publicised.
