Up goes your mortgage, or your landlord's mortgage. Up goes the rent or the mortgage on the shop where you and your landlord alike buy your food. And into recession we go, so that Rishi Sunak can claim to have beaten it in time for a General Election late next year. Via a deniable procedure that was put in place by the last Labour Government without a manifesto commitment. And backed to the hilt by an Official Opposition with no economic policy of its own.
But when I tell you that there is going to be a hung Parliament, then you can take that to the bank. I spent the 2005 Parliament saying that it was psephologically impossible for the Heir to Blair's Conservative Party to win an overall majority. I predicted a hung Parliament on the day that the 2017 General Election was called, and I stuck to that, entirely alone, all the way up to the publication of the exit poll eight long weeks later. And on the day that Sunak became Prime Minister, I predicted that a General Election between him and Keir Starmer would result in a hung Parliament.
To strengthen families and communities by securing economic equality and international peace through the democratic political control of the means to those ends, including national and parliamentary sovereignty, we need to hold the balance of power. Owing nothing to either main party, we must be open to the better offer. There does, however, need to be a better offer. Not a lesser evil, which in any case the Labour Party is not.
They do not even notice it. We are just numbers on a spreadsheet to them.
