    Socialist policies are the obvious answer to health, education, justice and transport issues in society.

    You know, all the things that actually matter in a society.

    The reason we don’t have more of them is because people continually vote against their own self interest.

    Certain strands of Socialism has evolved away from a completely centralised economy in the same way capitalism isn’t actually a free market.

      Louder for those in the back!!!

      I will never understand WHY people do this. And then higher life expectancy resulting in a growing older generation population preferring policies that actively harm young people

        (Actual queation): Why would you say its in my self-interest to vote for a left party (which would generally mean paying even more that the current 45% income taxes)?
