"Sure, Corbyn sometimes sounds like some Chavez Light, but given the systems in place in the UK there is no risk of an actual Venezuela situation."

Really? Venezuela a middle income country with oil being boned by a lack of economic competence. Corbyn and his clan at one point discussing printing money for the gov to spend unlike QE which can be rolled back. Corbyn who wants to nationalise everything. Corbyn who thinks he knows how people should spend their own money better than them so would steal it to fund a labour spending spree.

It is very dangerous to put such a clueless nutter in charge and think he cant drag us back to a ruined country.

"A mild course correction towards the Scandinavian model is about as extreme as it will ever get here."

Except that isnt on offer. Instead of more referendums, local power (not central gov), local taxation for local spending, homogeneous population and accepting that the socialist model doesnt work in a vacuum but through free market.

Last time this country tried to please socialists it was begging to the IMF and barely working. That does not sound like success nor something I would want to live through.
