If the Tories introduced UBI I would still NOT vote for them. (Note its a highly unrealistic prospect that they would do something so sensible and healthy).
Imagine if there was a UBI Political Party but other than UBI everything else it did had replicated exactly what Boris Johnson’s Tories have done. Would I be supporting and voting for it?
NO I WOULD NOT!
Why not?
I do not vote for massive levels of corrupt crime. I have MUCH higher standards. I do not vote for thousands of unnecessary deaths.
But what about UBI?
I would be extremely puzzled about how they can be so sane about UBI and yet so insane everywhere else. I consider the likelihood of that ever emerging in reality to be highly unrealistic. Because UBI (set at a high level) attacks power and control yet they would be acting like power and control freaks everywhere else.
But Westminster can reform itself and become clean as a whistle.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. Ermm… that’s for the birds. Westminster is about privilege, power, control. Cleaning itself up would be an attack on all of that. Hence, it will never get done. There’s too much helping your mates out by winning them huge contracts, lobbying for them and then getting thousands of pounds for yourself out of it. While cutting Universal Credit by £20 at the same time because they don’t need it. (eye roll).
