Yes we need to grow the pie, but we need to share it out more equitably.
None needs great chunks of of pie to just take home and stick in the freezer when there are others getting just a mouthful, or the crumbs left in the dish.
The thing is the “Red Wall voters” are getting exactly what they voted for.
Brexit has been done and Tories are following a well publicised path of austerity and tax cuts for the rich.
This is what those Tory voters wanted, what they voted for and what they have received. Sure the leopards are feasting but that in it’s self was more than predictable.
In all seriousness what in gods name did they expect to happen by pushing the country further to the right?
Red Wall voters are fucked. They know it as it has increased starting with Thatcher’s policies.
They are ripe for far right or far left politics (as these will promise a fantasy world) – and fall for promises made in brexit referendum or Boris’ hot air. Anything but the status quo.
Red Wall are marginally better with Labour. However ultimately, these communities have to organize from grown up, like the early unions.
