Yeah but good ideas are good ideas,and they deserve supporting sometimes. I'm sick of elections being driven on personality instead of ideas.
Take the investment bank proposal. The english press are talking down something that actually invests in public infrastructure and works like a sovereign wealth fund. The UK fucked up when the Tories squandered the North Sea oil but if the idea of a national investment fund/bank is good enough for Norway (and almost every other developed country on earth) why can't the UK have one too?
This isn't going to be money squandered on vanity projects or fed to big business and corporations in subsidy, it's taxpayers money spent on taxpayers. We have monetary autonomy, so it's not up to the markets. If we deliver growth and productivity then there is very little to moan about. We accepted successive governments pouring more and more cash into the RBS black hole, but we're sceptical about a plan to create a bank that actually invests in public infrastructure.
Public debt can be reduced as a result of focusing government spending on things that produce more economic benefits than they cost. Its simple but it could be so effective,we would get our return back with the workforce. Ironically its political ideas like this that could end up saving the UK if they got just a chance.
I predict the tories will probably nick the idea for 2022.
