Uh well how the fuck would you know whether I'm doing "fairly OK" or not? I've got a job - for now - and somewhere to live, so hurrah for me, I guess. The great majority of people who work are worse off than they were 10 or 15 years ago and the difference is even starker for people who don't or can't work - I'm sure you don't need me to tell you about that. I've had periods of unemployment where I've been quite deliberately fucked around to prevent me from claiming benefits. And most of this is due to specific policies brought in since 2010. That's why I find it bizarre to insist it doesn't matter who forms the government.
To be honest I find it hard to believe you're arguing entirely in good faith what with this and all the pro-Brexit stuff. Is there some deep-seated ideological argument here or is just contrarianism and a need to oppose THE LIBZ on every possible point?
If this is really do to specific policies *voluntarily* brought in by the tory government, then why is the labour party worse off than it ever has been? why are a significant amount (over 30%) people hit hardest by austerity voting libdem or tory? Are you going to condescendingly tell me it's because of russian interference or brainwashing? Are you? because that would be more owning the libs than your frothing ragebaits.
The fact is, we know that yes, the tories signed up for austerity voluntarily. But they didn't just sign up for it out of Etonian sentiment. They were still *compelled* to sign up for it through the systemic crisis. had they not signed up earlier, the eurozone would eventually force it on them. If the eurozone wouldn't force it on them, then the internal manoeuvrings of parliamentary politics would lead to it.
So far your argument seems to revolve on the labour party being able to oppose the EU, US, China, Russia, it's own domestic business elite, the right wing of the labour party, the liberal democrats, the continuing falling rate of profit, the huge swathes of reserve labour, etc etc.
Ok, I grant that. But what, what have labour done to make that vision even vaguely plausible? instead condescending to me, better treat me as an uneducated brute who knows nothing. tell us how labour is going to get us out of this mess. Tell me how your job will be more stable under labour. because you haven't, you've just deflected and made Corbyn out to be the saint who is mislead by the bad antisemites and the bad anti-imperialists. Might it be that Corbyn's very ideological malleability and indecisiveness makes him perfect for a british political establishment which does not have mass social bases to rubberstamp their policies? Even the tory party iis going to shrink to a ghost party in the nexxt 5-10 years. We're talking 140000 members in 2019.
