- HPsquared 1y agoThey need to be sneaky. Same with a lot of other unpopular policies which nevertheless (somehow...) have support from "both sides".
- tremon 1y agoThey need the public to (nominally) assent to it first, otherwise it'd be suicide. They're using the republican playbook: overburden the sector with tasks and regulations while underfunding it, and allow for private competition that is not subject to the same regulatory burden. Then in a decade or so, you can claim that the "free market" works better and the public won't kick up too much of a fuss.
- eru 1y agoThat seems like a weird conspiracy. Why would the parties secretly want to do something that the voters don't like? Are they not power-hungry? By the way, how is that the republican playbook? What does any of this have to do with the desire to remove King Charles as the head of government? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republicanism_in_the_United_Kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republicanism_in_the_United_Ki...
