CHALLENGING COMPLACENCY – WHY WE NEED AN ECONOMIC CHALLENGER – Read the full article here!
With the collapse of the centre left of the Labour Party, and the wholly unexpected rise of the left wing radicals, it has meant that much of the seriously challenging debate about the UK economy is quite likely to be lost. Most of our daily press does have a certain right wing bias, with some being quite blatant and others somewhat more subtle. However the upshot has been that any comments from Messrs Corbyn and Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell are normally framed amongst phrases of “left wing extremist” and “labour militants”. Classically last Monday, The Times front page headlined with “secret plot to oust Labour moderates”, which has the effect of meaning that anything stated regarding the economy from these “lefty loonies” is seemingly therefore mad and should be disregarded.
This will have the effect of stifling any real debate on such subjects, thus allowing the Government to chortle to itself that any credible economic opposition has collapsed. Will it therefore be accepted that it is only its own economic ideas and policies that are the reasonable alternative? It also means that any challenging, let alone even radical ideas are almost immediately disregarded by dint of their dubious pedigree.
