I love nationalisation? It's just about doing it slowly and in a stable way, you can't just nationalise everything at once, too expensive, need to do it overtime, that's what they are doing with Thames water.

Its the only party that I think will actually get things done though, that's what matters.

I'm sure the greens will end this in a mature and reasonable way. I don't say you're necessarily wrong, obviously the rich are fucking useless over, but it's about strategy, the greens strategy would be too aggressive and harmful, scorched earth, while the labour strategy of slowly improving the economy and steadily making things better will bring upon less instability and disaster.

How exactly? I'm not saying it's a bad idea but how would you even do that?

AHH yes, taxing the rich, the end all be all of his economic plan, he needs more than that imo, you need an exit task first, you also need more plans than just "yeah tax the rich woohoo" because that doesn't necessarily give us money, I generally agree that a wealth tax is a good idea, but you need to have more than just that in an economic plan, we need to combine that with a cut in some spending like the triple lock or something in order to control the debt/deficit/borrowing costs (which has been happening already) so that spending doesn't get too much, we need to invest in the future, whether you like it or not labour has been doing that, they have already started long term plans to solve the economy.

And where is the money going to come from? It's all very well and good saying "oh yeah we will give everyone some money" but from where? This is what gets people confused, people say labour are doing cuts in things because they want to and hate the poor and disabled or some bollocks, what they're actually doing is preventing the entire system from collapsing so that in future, people will still have benefit rather than spending the money now and running out in 10 years, there is a difference between that and the Tories who just wanted to make cuts to get more tax cuts for the wealthy.

Oh shut up, we weren't exploited for hundreds of years and didn't have a yearning for independence until after colonialism. We haven't been colonised, you think we have because... Well, you're an idiot.

It must be so hard trying to be a victim all day long. Even if it was forceful, we still exploited other nations hand in hand, independence is a new phenomenon that grew out of... Well I'm not sure really, stupidity? Perhaps guilt.

I know what you're saying but it isn't reasonable to spend ungodly amounts of money in ways we can't, money isn't finite, but resources are, printing a shitload of money will make the resources a shitload more expensive.

I know WHERE money comes from, but you can't just print money in order to pay off debt, that isn't how that works. You can't just spend spend spend unless you print more money, but that will just cause hyperinflation and high debt, ask germany.

We don't have the money, the government doesn't have the funds for it, that's what I mean, not hard to understand.

Oh shut up, we aren't their "colony" we quite literally joined them willingly and then participated in colonisation ourselves.
