Imagine telling someone a decade ago that a CDU government in Germany would remove a debt break on spending while a Labour government in the UK would enact austerity.

I can’t wait for no meaningful improvements in my life. Can’t wait for the government demand my gratitude because they didn’t raise taxes while the country falls apart.

I suppose they don’t really have much of a choice when the whole country is broke and it is already one of the higher taxed nations.
They can’t even borrow because of high interest rates and the bond market would probably throw a fit if they borrowed too much.

>vote Labour after a decade of conservative austerity
>Labour immediately enacts more austerity
>people abandon them
>Labour right blames the left
Rinse and repeat
I really don’t want to like the labour left but they seem to be 100% correct that the centrists act like Tories, robots in disguise
