RE: Jeremy Corbyn: Why we need to fight with him
Its funny looking back on this now, 10 months ago Jeremy Corbyn was un-electable, now within 24 hours, he could be Prime Minister. Whats realy funny is that he hasnt really done anything, he has just let Theresa May show how horrible her policies are.
Personally I cant vote for Labour/Corbyn, Im not anti-unions, they have done a great many good things for the ordinary working person, but in a world of labour laws their primary function has been lost and they start meddling in politics too much for my liking. That Corbyn would increase their power, I find un-acceptable.
Im voting Lib-Dem, and hope for a hung parliament and coalition government, in this way I hope we can get the best of party politics, which in itself I see as a broken system.
Upvoted and followed you, albeit a little late (or is it?)!
Thank you. Sorry I've only just seen this as I haven't been very active on Steemit, although that might change soon. I'm interested to know how much Labour / Corbyn may meddle in politics? I kind of understand and agree to a certain extent that government overreach into the free market can be a problem, and stifle progression and innovation, but there is obviously a very important role to be played by government and not everything can be left up to the free market just yet, if ever. Obviously health care and education are two of the main areas on this subject, although I do think the free market has a role to play from an innovation point of view. I personally think the Tories and previous Labour governments have taken us too far down the crony capitalist route with too many rich powerful people calling the shots. A bit of a re-balance is order, which might come from a Corbyn government, but may also come from new technologies like Bitcoin and decentralized systems.
I didn't mean Labour meddling I politics, I meant Unions meddling in politics. Free markets are great for discretionary needs, but for basic needs then I don't agree with free markets. However governments are also inefficient, I hope mutual societies and block-chain can be the best way to distribute things we all need.
and the other point to mention: was Corbyn really ever un-electable? or was he really always the most electable person in the Labour party? One thing is for sure, the Neo-liberals surely don't want him to be elected because that will mean it will be the end of their era, which by the looks of it is on the cards.
