RE: Jeremy Corbyn: Why we need to fight with him

in #ukpolitics7 years ago

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.
