I believe May is going nowhere and we are stuck with her for years. Politicians tend to find their best when cornered. Corbyn did it last year. Held firm and then fortune garnered him a favourable result, not a win, in fact far from it, but enough slack to mean he is ok for the time being. Not what I want, the Moggster is the best choice for PM, after Sir Nigel, obviously. However, better than a spendthrift, commie arsehole. Will live with it.

Nick- how can you be so sure your view on politics is right? They're not. They're left. Seriously, from life experience, widespread reading and research. To me, looking for ideas that help Joe public without exploiting them resonates far more for me than the situation at the moment. It's a cliche but it doesn't sit right to see the rich getting richer whilst everyone else is just about treading water.

Doing that, surely you see that all attempts at running a socialist economy and society have ended in the very people you want to help being worse off - if not dead.

No we don't see that at all but we do see your usual nonsense. Perhaps you will tell us how the NHS kills people but on second thoughts please don't.

So we are living in a socialist society with a socialist economy? This is the problem that you don't see, modern societies have evolved into property owning democracies with a social element. All of them are capitalist to some degree and socialist too the blend varies. Here we have a tory govt. but the socialist values of health care welfare education etc. are still there. The constant battle you describe of capitalism versus socialism just doesn't happen it is not relevant. It is an ex-parrot.
