If Britain does manage to level up, any chance we could put some of those ability points in Intelligence please?
The reason it is setup the way it is, is that it allows the government to bribe areas voting for them and punish those that don’t. This government has been doing all along and seems to be succeeding because in many areas people have ended up voting for Tories after realising that voting against them means withdrawal of funding to improve their living conditions.
It has done a great job of centralising power so far, they just seemed to have kept up the illusion they have not (in England, at least). It’s clear the government want to reverse devolution but they have too many connections with the media, which allows them to convince the public that they are going to do what they can for all regions of England.
The ‘Red Wall’ need to look closely at the south west, especially Cornwall, to see what the Tories really think about levelling up. We’re a region that is dominated by Tory councils and the cost of living down here is similar to that of the south east. The lack of infrastructure down here is ridiculous and the area is dependent on tourism for the most part. Outside of a few major cities, such as Bath or Bristol, there is little going on for young people and talent is drained away to London. Years of voting for the Tories has done nothing to level things up for the locals, especially the young. It is going to be the same for other areas who fall for the levelling-up nonsense.
Bbc economic expert “there is little spending in these plans, as befits the economic situation”
Oh fuck off, they can conjure money out of their arses if need be, stop advocating austerity all the fucking time.
Bullshit to distract, you. Just wasted billions of pounds that could have transformed deprived populations.
Leveling up is completely at odds with the ‘small state’ ideology pedaled by the Tories.
Older people keep supporting it though because the cuts only usually hurt ‘the right people’.
