Personally I think he needs to be sensible and follow Brown’s lead by keeping the economy steady and stable in the first term whilst driving down inflation and reducing interest payments. Stability first then growth and spending if allowable in the second term.

Some of you might disagree 😉.

    So complicated that the only way to win is by attracting shy Tories to vote for you.

    Resulting in the two leading parties having very similar policies and the left wing being left politically homeless.

      Pretty much, yes.

      A left leaning party hasn’t been in power since the late seventies. But a right leaning one has (several times). The battle is otherwise in the middle ground leading to “shy Tories” voting Labour and Labour Brexit frothers voting for Tories.

      That’s by design. Welcome in the fake democracy of capitalist countries.
