Greatest myth of UK politics:

โ€œThe prosperous, liberal south voted remain & increasingly labour - while the poorer northern left-behind voted Brexit & are switching to Toriesโ€.

Itโ€™s a myth based on the misunderstanding - that income no longer determines voting..

..wealth does.

Iโ€™m always amused by some naive people on the left who are confused about Owen Jones. Or who admonish Owen Jones for risking Labour unity & its election chances.

Owen Jones has been working full time for several years now to ensure the Tories win the next election.

Thereโ€™s 2 groups that want to end European social democracy:

1. Those on the left that HOPE it might lead to a more left society & govt

2. Those on the right that KNOW it leads to an oligarch free for all with politics determined by populism as traditional democracy breaks down

The Soviet Union has largely been given a discreet free pass due to its tremendous losses in WWII.

But given recent events more people will come to recall:

The only reason the Soviets fought the Nazis is that the Nazis reneged on their deal to divide up Europe between them.

Dave Sumner Smith @cooperian56 I really hope this doesnโ€™t turn into another:

โ€œThe UK will have to adopt the Euro if it wants to rejoin the EUโ€ thread.

This is simply not the case.
