True - UK politics is in a desperate state.  As is American, etc...

But I do think a left-leaning party would be very popular if it kept hammering out messages like...

Is it fair that unearned income is taxed less than income people actually earn?
 - or
Is it fair that people in modest homes pay a higher ratio of their home's value in council tax than do people living in mansions?

 - or on the investment side, say...
Providing free school meals to every child doesn't cost anything, because the country will get back more in tax revenue and other contributions when all kids become well-educated, healthy productive adults - its an investment in a better future for everybody
 - or simply:
We don't believe governments should spend anything at all - they should only invest in their people.
