I would counter and say if your life has been an abject failure or you completely rely on the state and expect everyone else to pay for your existence, vote Labour Simonium said:

I’m guessing this is why no one on my social media (Facebook) has “I’m voting conservative” as their profile picture. It’s just not worth the hassle when this is the level of debate you’d get in response. Given there are maybe four or five people on there with “I’m voting Labour” I’ll assume the rest are (perhaps reluctantly) voting Conservative or other.

I have been fascinated to see how many Marxists exist in the UK in modern times. I simply cannot comprehend it. Poor education? Lack of world knowledge? Zero grasp of economics? Totally baffling to me. I guess most people are ignorant, sadly.s2art said:

Either that or Labour win, forcing a second referendum which will definitively decide it.Hereward said:

Should any business exist if it cannot pay a wage on which a person can live reasonably without government intervention and subsidy? I’d argue No.
Why should a business be subsidised?

I agree, but you would have to accept higher unemployment.Should any business exist if it cannot pay a wage on which a person can live reasonably without government intervention and subsidy? I’d argue No.

Most of them aren't actually Marxists they just haven't the faintest idea of what Labour are planning to do when they get in. All they hear is "free" stuff paid for by those rich bast*rds.If Labour do get in then those fools at least will be getting exactly what they deserve.

You can get a lot of people to agree on having free stuff paid for by other people.

Correct. Which is why when you are young and don't have much money you like that idea very much. Then as you get older and start earning a living, you are not so keen on state-sponsored theft.That's it.

Either that or Labour win, forcing a second referendum which will definitively decide it.The next year or so will be fun to watch. I think Farage may suffer a major blood pressure issue if Boris trade deal with the Eu goes the way I suspect. Assuming a Tory majority of course.

Subsidy has it's place at times. Each case is arguable:Should any business exist if it cannot pay a wage on which a person can live reasonably without government intervention and subsidy? I’d argue No.
Why should a business be subsidised?
1) Scrappage scheme post 2008 arguably kept many jobs through a downturn
2) Investing in national infrastructure (rail subsidy is at it's highest now IIRC)
3) Electric cars and charging points to kick start demand
4) Farming is a tricky one. Fundamentally do you want to make it more expensive for poor people to buy milk?
Thoughts?
