Okay, it's pretty clear now that the government don't have the interests of the poor at heart. There was absolutely nothing in the spring statement that would alleviate the energy crisis.
There was no plan to give help in the short term and there was no deviation from the net-zero ideology.
Great news for the middle class, abysmal news for the poorest in society who are facing the dilemma of "heat or eat", facing lower mobility, and generally a struggle to cope amid a rapidly reducing standard of living.
So, given that both the Tories and Labour want to crucify the poor on their pious plans to save the planet, what are the poor working class to do?
Do we all give a protest vote to an outlandish party? Do we vote for Communists or Nazis? Do we vote for the raving loony party? How are we to make our displeasure public? We can't refuse to vote, because that is counter productive. We need to vote in order to push the agenda our way.
Well, it's about time the poor organised. Many special interest groups like the greens, the Muslims, the LGBTQ+, all have become politically active and vote as a block in order to sway election outcomes. Back in history, the Trades Unions would be the ones to organise the working class/poor vote. But now they are in bed with the elites that don't care about the poor working classes.
Without the commitment and the will to vote in numbers for a specific party, none of the parties will take the poor working class agenda seriously. Why would they when they can ignore them and not suffer any consequences? If the poor had a block vote and representation as to what their demands are, then they would be better represented in Parliament.
Until then, we're fucked.
