    With respect to @GeofCox comments on your other thread, I wonder how much the near total exclusion of the political left in the UK has contributed to our current situation in comparison with the rest of Europe.

    I would say quite significantly - the shift rightwards & the policies that has entitled are central t the story of the UK's relative decline in theist half-century.... it needn't have been like this, but the Right wanted it to be for its own (self-focussed) reasons

    I suppose that the entire project would have fallen over if there'd been a left-wing alternative, so eliminating the threat was existential.

    Accepting this as a feature of the cult-like obedience to neoliberal economics over the past fifty years, your typo couldn't be more appropriate!
