My problem is that poor governance from the lesser of two evils almost inevitably results in a swing towards the greater of two evils.
It just delays the worst, doesn’t avert it.
We had other options, as uninspiring as they may have been. Now we’re locked into a FPTP two-party death spiral, and both parties bear the responsibility for it; the cons for being unrepentant monsters, and the libs for pandering to the right and to capital at the expense of the best interests of the majority of the electorate when they could and should be choosing policy directions that don’t perpetuate ballooning inequality and the decay of the social safety net.
Carney in particular watched (and to some extent, presided over) decades of just this kind of decline in the UK, he absolutely knows what his policy directives are going to do to this country.
