❓With the post-war social democratic system in collapse as it runs out of young workers to meet pension, health and care obligations, would returning to the EU solve our growth problem?
🤦🏻‍♂️Not a chance.

People who want government reflecting the principles of a free society need to join and stay in the Conservative Party.
That isn’t very popular. An old saying is, “In democracies, electorates get the government they deserve.” 🤷🏻‍♂️
I’ll be doing what I can in public life and private business but the state has power over us all and there’s only one way to steer and diminish it.

Again, it’s just not how politics works. You can’t force MPs out 1-by-1. Labour have massive power at least until the PM decides to have an election in about 2029.
I won’t lie to you. It’s among the reasons I am less popular than some. I lift the lid on politics on my Substack. People can believe what I write from first hand experience or not. I can’t force you.

If you think I’m new to sound money, you haven’t been following my work.
EG, 2010 maiden speech:
https://www.cobdencentre.org/2010/06/an-honest-money-maiden-speech/
And I led the first parliamentary debate on the monetary system since the 1844 Bank Charter Act:
https://www.cobdencentre.org/2014/11/money-creation-and-society-debate-in-full/
There’s plenty more. I’ve nothing to prove on this front. A long record speaks for itself.

It’s a good stunt but the chance of it leading to an election is zero.

It’s definitely the worst system for governing a country, apart from all the others that have been tried from time to time.

Besmirching me on the basis of your own ignorance then doubling down when you owe an apology reflects badly on you.

No. Privy Council membership is for life.
“Appointments are made by the Sovereign on the advice of the Prime Minister and are for life – there is no fixed number of Members. All Cabinet Members are appointed to the Privy Council, as are some senior members of the Royal Family, senior judges, two Archbishops, the Speaker of the House of Commons, leaders of Opposition parties, and leading Commonwealth spokesmen and judges. The Council now numbers over 700 members, and members are entitled to the prefix ‘Right Honourable.’”

You are welcome. And don’t mention it. I forgive you.

It’s an interesting idea but it seems unlikely given the prevailing consensus, widespread ignorance plus public choice factors.
CBDC seems to be where the monetary policy establishment wants to go.

😎At their launch, I discovered Home@ix is a revolutionary solution to that challenge: they will provide affordable, sustainable homes at scale.

Earlier, I spoke with Pete McCormack about politics, public spending, tax and the imperative for sound money, produced apart from the state.
