    This country is utterly fecked unless someone develops a pair and goes after the wealth .

    The super rich will take it all .
    I mostly disagree with this. This is why Corbyn didn’t get in. Targeting the rich doesn’t increase the overall wealth and GDP in this country. Business growth does that. That’s why Brexit is such a disaster for us.

    I’d rather vote for a party with a clear plan on growth and willing to rejoin the EU.

    Just ‘tax the rich’ doesn’t really make the country better off. The very richest will find ways around it or move abroad anyway. We have to become global leaders in future growth industries, so that the next generation or two will benefit from high skilled and high paying jobs.

    Unfortunately we have a naive electorate and (mostly Tory) politicians who think only about themselves, their PR, how they are going to get back into power at the next election. Any thought for the next generations are very low down on the priority list.

    Oh when we start marketing it that’s when we can judge it Al. So far not had that chance. I’m being patient with it.

    Anyway, the point i’m also making here is surely NZ is not a great move for Reform. and again proves my point of Reform just a rebrand of the Tory party. A lot of people and a lot, are waking up to the antics of reform and what is happening in the states. Copycat of politics over there won’t necessarily work here and that’s what they are doing, copying. We forget how much tories caused and now Starmer - and we really think reform are the saviours?

    I don?t vote Regis but the proof of the pudding will be in the next election and judging by all the local council elections being cancelled Labour are running scared. As for the States ( we have work interests there ) Trump has lost some popularity but it?s still double than Starmers. What does that say?

    To be honest, if there was a General Election tomorrow I would not have a clue who I would vote for. I have little faith in any of the parties. It appears to me that common sense and the obvious is something that is completely lacking in politicians. There maybe be the odd one or two with ability who who can be trusted but too many are in politics for what they can get out of it and not for what is best for us as a nation.

    The country is in a mess and we appear to have very few who are capable and have the will to get us out of it. An extremely sad state of affairs.

    The voting system is totally flawed in this country anyway. What?s the point of voting for example when the majority is your constituent vote for the wet Lib Dem?s? As for that Green p rick - he sounds even crazier than Corbyn if that was possible. Pity he can?t say Refugees welcome and those that agree are the ones who pay for it and give them shelter!
