This article is a damning perspective on UK present and future. The blame rests with politicians, who have destroyed much that was good, who have little new of value to offer, and get off scott free raising doubts about this phase of "Liberal democracy".
The article argues and substantiates the following points:
1. Britain's political, economic and societal trajectories irrevocably undermine individual and economic freedoms, markedly tilting towards state oversight and management.
2. Fundamental values of democracy and market economics are compromised, endangering the country's core principles.
3. Escalating state intervention restricts personal autonomy, leading to an excessively regulated society.
4. Consequences manifest as economic stagnation and a trend towards reliance on governmental support.
5. Politicians are critiqued for these outcomes, the decision-makers are unaccountable, detached, from their enduring consequences.
6. Rising public disenchantment as liberties diminish and capitalist values decline.
7. The UK's direction appears set, shifting from liberal towards authoritarian governance.
8. A warning against complacency in the face of expanding state control and eroding individual freedoms.
9. "both main parties agree on almost everything when it comes to the economy. They offer no real choice, no clash of vision, no alternative to Britain’s slow drift into social democratic irrelevance, no genuine solution to mending our broken public services"
