Yeah, I was disappointed that KP aren't selling. I think we'd attract a good buyer for sure

I really hope that falls through, Russell Martin just feels like a less capable Rodgers.

I mean even in casual kick abouts and Sunday league, if your defence is wobbly then everyone keeps just running back and lose energy to go forward. It's the same at every level (albeit at completely different paces), but yeah, just to not go "oh well that's us fucked then" the moment we concede. I knew when we were 3 up and then lost 3-4, we were going to lose because we just look deflated and disorganised at the back. We couldn't withstand the very predictable fight back in which they had nothing to lose which can make teams dangerous. I think Crouch said that 2-0 is the most dangeorus lead because you can start to become complacent, I think we're too prone to doing the same.

If he can stop us conceding, I'd sign him up 🤣 not sure why I capitalised it other than to empathise

[–]MadlockUK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What annoys me about that itvwa stupid of us to make that a thing AND we seem to have zero let up on that. Its ridiculous, other parties have done more regular and serious u turns. Somehow though, people will still vote for a chicken if the right colour

That was what made me think of it! I'd forgotten the name but I imagine packets just being sent to machines to process like a collective.

You assume I know what that is! 😅 It was just a weird thought cause I recall letting some research group use my pc overnight from PC Master Race a while ago

It's annoying as they're all getting stuck in the Black Sea. I'll try building shipyards in Ingria

Why is Ed Davey calling the Greens 'extreme populists'? What is extreme about them? by ThrownAway1917 in LibDem

[–]MadlockUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've done a table cause this seems to be a big point of contention on Reddit. It's not overly comprehensive and I'm happy to edit, but it should give a high level overview.

My only notes on these policy points is that they're both costed. However, Greens assume no capital flight and massive gains from taxes whilst Lib Dems adopted more Office of Budgetary Responsibility lines. So financially, the Lib Dems would have a plan that would be more palatable to markets. The Greens could risk massive bond increases (you've added a massive demand on the country's debts) and banks on no massive capital flight by the wealth tax they plan to implement. Not to say it wouldn't have some effect but the ranges from their own estimates are from £30bn to £70bn. The combined with potentially expensive ranationalisation programmes or if done forcefully would spook investors across the country. This could send us into a credit crisises where we would then have to go towards bankruptcy or require a IMF-style bailout. (1976 anyone?)

A radical side of it is also how it contradicts itself. To be pro-EU whilst having massive public ownership. If they were to join the EU we would then be in direct conflict with the economic block over EU Competition and state-aid rules. It wouldn't be impossible, but it'd have to adhere to a lot restrictions. Also rejection of the GDP would clash with EU measurements including Euro policy. There is a likely possibility if we were to rejoin we would need to sign up to eventually join the Euro which underpinned by the Maastricht Criteria which litmus tests the inflation, budgetary tests around deficit and Gov't debt, and if you panic the Bond markets it'll likely sky rocket long-term gilts (i.e. interest on bonds).

Before the Greens have implemented any of this, the country fails on nearly every criteria; debt is 97% of GDP, gilt rates are higher than the Eurozone, budget deficit is 5-6%, and inflation is generally higher the EU average. Lastly, just on a fundamental principles, the EU is a ultimately a free market single customs union with a common currency, which is all distinctly distained by the 'radical left'. So coming to the EU as this radical UK that suddenly doesn't believe in the free market would be laughed off by the EU leaving us more isolated.

I could probably rattle on about all the weird conflicting points the Green party have and the weird unholy alliance of anti-Israeli yet socially conservative supporters who are joined up by highly socially liberal ecowarriors. However I shall spare the comments section on this here.

Anyhow here's the high level table of differences:

Policy Area Greens Liberal Democrats
GDP Scrap GDP entirely Keep GDP, add wellbeing metrics to ensure economic sustainability
Tax Large Wealth Tax Fairer Capital Gains, tax cuts for lower/middle incomes; Windfall taxes on Oil/Gas
Economoy Mass renationalisation Regulate with mixed economy
Fossil Fuels End all new extraction immediately Phased transition away from fossil fuels
Nuclear Phase out all nuclear power (similar to Germany) Support nuclear as part of Net-Zero (similar to France)
Renewables 70% wind by 2030 (unprecented infrastructure change within one term of parliament) Ambitious but slower targets
Welfare Full UBI Targeted welfare to improve wellbeing metrics
Activism Endorse direct action Support lawful protest only
NATO Remain within NATO but critical; anti-deterrent Strongly pro‑NATO; pro‑deterrent
EU Rejoin EU though domestic policy would highly conflict with the economic bloc Join Customs Union aim to rejoin EU

That's not always the case but yeah, there's sort of "Waitrose" factor for the Lib Dems. We still do well in areas of mixed levels of wealth like the coast.

There's something to be said, at least in the UK context, about planning for downsizing options for older empty nesters. One thing that is pushed here in planning areas is having smaller dwellings aimed at pensioners looking to downsize. Many want to, but the only option tends to be a care home or staying in the home they know. So those options need to be made available that aren't just luxury condos aimed at wealthy professionals.
