Boris's Policies?

[Theland]

With the exciting over, and Brexit imminent, what policies do you expect from Boris, after all the promises that have been made?
Are they empty words, or carefully thought out plans to fix this country?

[Theland]

Sometimes the rank outsider might be first past the post.

[naomi24]

Your choice.

[Theland]

I have not yet revealed my choice.

[naomi24]

I wasn’t asking.

[Theland]

Should austerity end?

[emmie]

it already has, hasn't it?

[Theland]

No. Just words so far.

I gather he has pledged to repeal the FTPA. This should put an end to the paralysis we have endured over the past two years or more.

[Theland]

FTPA?

[Jackdaw33]

Fixed Terms Parliament Act 2011.

[Theland]

Ah yes. Good move.

When it comes to Boris's economic policy, do you think he will gravitate towards a completely free unregulated market economy, or a degree of regulation, to prevent what Edward Heath called, "The unacceptable face of Capitalism?"

[Theland]

Thatcherism was a disaster for this country.
The Blessed Margaret destroyed the Building Societies, converting them to banks, and in doing so, increased our deficit from about 57% to more than double that.
The poll tax was merely icing on the cake.
So, what do you think Cummings will advise?
Raw naked Adam Smith free for all, or a Ken Clarke type One Nation Conservatism, something with a large measure of compassion?
