Whichever way you look at it, the two main political parties are one and the same. We went to the polls last year to vote for more of the same, and at the time I asked this question:
If you're planning to vote Labour tomorrow, because you're pissed off with the Tories, as many people plan to do, please explain to me why you think a Labour Government would be an improvement
Well it certainly wasn't an improvement. In fact, in the short time Keith from HR and Rachael from Accounts have been doing their thing, it's become much more worse than even the Tories could have accomplished
So much so that the Guardian newspaper, of all places, now asks this question:
As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories?
How indeed?
At the time of the election, labour and the Conservatives were virtually indistinguishable. Labour didn't win the election though, the Conservatives lost it, having lost too many of their voters to Refom
There were unfortunately, enough Labour socialist die hards, to get them past the post. These people will vote Labour because they hate the Tories, and will apply zero critical thinking to the their choice
They missed two very important points:
- Labour and Conservative wanted to impliment the exact same things, policy wise
- Net zero
- Banning cars
- Nanny state
- Immigration
- Labour in opposition, were totally unprepared for the responsibilities of being in government
- Pretend there's a 22 billion black hole and blame everything on the Tories
And the real irony is, when the Guardian asks what is differnt from life under the Tories, when Labour want to slash benefits, a true Conservative government should have been 100% focussed on drastically reducing the welfare state and stopping financing lazy people who simply can't be bothered to work.
The last fourteen years was not life under the Tories, but life under Labour. We never had a truly Conservative Government after Blair got in
If this is now Labours plan of action (Which by the way, I do not believe), then does that make them more Conservative than the Conservatives?
In the autumn budget, Reeves committed to keeping the £3bn of disability benefit “savings” the outgoing Conservative government planned.
They're also keeping Net Zero, petrol and diesel car bans and uncontrolled immigration, but whatever
If any of this feels familiar, it’s because it is – and not just that it was only a decade ago that the coalition government was “reforming” the system.
So in ten years of Conservative control, nothing has actually been acheived in this area. That is why I believe that a further nothing will be achieved under Labour. The two parties are all the same, all talk and no knickers, unless they want to ban something or tax something
No tax savings will be made under Labour, just like no tax savings were made uner the Conservatives, going back to and including, the Great Repeal Bill of 2010, which after all the excitement died down, repealed the sum total of zip
How indeed, Guardian writer, is this different from life under the Tories?
Well economic growth is stalling, so there's that...
