Thought the above topic might be an interesting one.

Keir Starmer mentioned the 'fantasy' economics that is going on in the contest at the moment. What does everyone think?

Thought I would kick off with proof that the trickle down theory of economics doesn't work...

I don't know enough about different systems of economics to know..

However, I can't understand why people who earn at the bottom aren't given more of their own money,eg raise the tax thresholds to 15 grand?

Public services are falling apart and they want to cut taxes further? Are they having a laugh?
