Corbyns 10 priorities he has stated in this election
They are:
- An economy that works for all
- Secure homes for all
- A free National Education Service
- Action to secure our environment
- Security at work
- Cut income and wealth inequality
- Act to find prejudice and injustice
- Secure our NHS and social care
- Democracy in our economy
- Peace and justice abroad
I would say 1-9 would directly effect the majority of people and voters who just work full time, have families and generally just want to crack on and do better for themselves, as much as it would help the worse off in society.
But his policies are not directed at achieving any of them, they are all ideological rather than well thought out. His economy plans are not intended to work for all, they are intended to work for the poor and stuff everyone else. He wants to tax anyone who wants to make money and his entire being is totally against any form of capitalist society. That means there is no economy, it means everyone who works has to pay for everything he wants to do. It means every company will pay more tax on their profits and therefore cannot expand and cannot thrive. It means anyone thinking of starting a business won't bother, anyone with money wanting to invest won't and ultimately it means the whole nation will come to rely on the taxes and effort of the average Joe.
He wants secure homes but no he doesn't, he wants council homes, he has no interest in supporting the private housing sector which is what 75% really need. His very being again is against any support of the private sector because of the so called 'greedy' house builders. His only interest in the private sector is to further tax or hit the landlords which I agree with to a degree but then it doesn't exactly encourage anyone to invest and build.
Our current education system is already free, enough said really.
Action to secure our environment, well what can we really do beyond banning cars, coal, gas etc. Or do we just do what he means and build a load of wind farms and SAY we are doing something when really we aren't.
Security at work well I have had no problems in the last 10 years so that doesn't apply for me anyway, I don't know anyone who has had any real trouble at work either. No doubt Corbyn will bang on about zero hour contracts but well our firm employs 400 people at this site and not a single person is on a zero hours contract. I'm sure there will be some but having the choice by creating jobs and ensuring an environment is there to achieve it is far better.
Cut income and wealth inequality, that just means tax the rich essentially, it will not do anything to help the poorest into work nor help them do anything along those lines. It will help people to get by but it certainly won't help them any further.
Act to find prejudice and injustice, probably the most vague point on there. Racism is illegal, gay marriage was legalized by the Tories, I don't really get what could be achieved more from this?
Secure the NHS and social care, this is probably where he will hit the right note because yes it needs more money. The problem with the NHS is it always will need more money and where do you draw the line and are we prepared to pay more tax to pay for it? I would, not sure about the poorest in society though, again diminishing returns means with all this money he plans to spend, where is it going to come from?
Democracy in our economy, probably the 2nd most vague statement. Democracy in what, at work, in banks? I don't get it.
Peace and justice abroad, coming from someone who shares platforms with terrorists, harbours anti-semitism in his party.. We all know what that means. It means we will be spending money on becoming a protest nation in the name of Palestine. It does not mean however electing Corbyn will suddenly solve the real problems in the Middle East so that point is pretty much pointless.
As I have pointed out above, those slogans and meaningless points mean absolutely nothing to just about every single average person when you think about what they actually mean.
