There are two things wrong with British politics as they stand today:
1) We don’t know the Conservative ideology, if indeed they have one. We’ve all heard of the ‘ENDGAME’ at least if we follow politics but none of us really know what the ‘ENDGAME’ is or means. Cameron is trying to re-invent British Capitalism and redistribute the wealth of our country to the ‘ruling classes’ and it appears he’s doing this whilst still manipulating happy votes from the working man. We now work for the government when the government should be working for the people.
2, Britain sat back whilst government after government bastardized capitalism
If we want to reform capitalism back to its first principles, then we have to put legislation in place that will benefit everyone and stop championing policies that make the rich richer and the poor poorer. A free market only works if it can fund its welfare state, once that fails and clearly it has then we’ve reached a dead end and our nation starts to tumble backwards which it is doing.
The only way we can stop this train wreck is to change the tide of public thought…In steps Jeremy Corbyn. Whilst Corbyn’s socialist policies are for the most part unthinkable to the larger majority of the British public (at the moment) he’s waking us up and making us pay attention. He’s removed that tight lid that stopped us seeing inside and he's given birth to a new interest in politics. He’s reaching out to our future politicians. Even if Corbyn never gets in, in the next four years he’s going to put a spanner in the works of ‘neo-liberal’ ideas. Someone had to do it and I believe he was the right man for the job and whether we want to vote Tory, UKIP, LD or Labour, we should all be thankful for that.
