Uma eleição do Brexit seria adequada ao trabalho de Corbyn

Frank McKenna explica o porquê, em vez de temer uma eleição geral dominada pelo Brexit, o trabalho pode recebê -lo.

Column_border_style = "Solid"] [vc_column_text] Comentaristas políticos parecem estar concluindo que uma eleição que se concentra no Brexit será uma notícia melhor para Boris Johnson e os Tories do que o trabalho de trabalho. Problema. Assuntos. Do 'imposto sobre a morte' até ela, evitando debates de televisão ao vivo com outros líderes do partido, o desempenho de Theresa May foi lamentável. fora da lei zero horas de contratos. Isso ganha uma enorme rodada de aplausos de todos que são contra a exploração dos trabalhadores, certo?

The narrative goes that the Prime Minister’s conviction and ‘No Deal’ rhetoric will trump (no pun intended) Jeremy Corbyn’s more nuanced approach to the issue.

Although I can see why Labour may lose a proportion of votes to both Leave and Remain camps given the likely policy position they will take at the next General Election, I would argue strongly that a campaign dominated by the country’s future relationship with the EU is better fighting terrain for Corbyn than one that concentrates on the issues that usually exercise the minds of voters, such as the economy, domestic policies and, to a lesser extent nowadays, foreign affairs.

At the last election, lost by Labour but seen as a triumph by Corbynistas, Labour’s manifesto was barely scrutinized as the then Conservative leader delivered a masterclass in ‘how not to run a campaign’. From the ‘death tax’ to her avoiding live television debates with other party leaders, Theresa May’s performance was woeful.

It meant that few, if any, of Labour’s policies were properly scrutinised.

Here are a few that, if normal politics was resumed prior to an election, the official opposition may find it difficult to defend.

This week they confirmed that they will outlaw Zero Hours contracts. That wins a huge round of applause from everyone who is against the exploitation of workers, right?

errado! O primeiro chamador telefônico na LBC na terça-feira de manhã foi uma enfermeira de meio período que declarou que ele era eleitor trabalhista a vida toda, mas se eles tivessem o contrato de zero horas de distância, ele votaria em conservador-e a política teria um impacto extremamente negativo nos aspectos do NHS como um todo. Políticas, a vista em preto e branco poderia mordê -las no bumbum de maneiras em que não foram consideradas. Agora, como alguém que se sentou no Conselho Executivo de Grupos de Habitação de Trabalho até os anos oitenta, não estou apenas ciente dos proprietários do tipo Rackman Mishery Rackman causam seus inquilinos infelizes, mas tenho sido um crítico consistente e consistente de tais práticas. por inquilinos do conselho.

Labour hasn’t factored in the positive aspects that zero- hour contracts can bring to employers and employees alike, and as is usually the case with Corbyn-inspired policies, the black and white view could come to bite them on the bum in ways that they haven’t factored in.

Next up, regulating private landlords. Now, as someone who sat on Labour Housing Groups executive board through the Eighties, I am not only aware of the misery Rackman-type landlords cause their unfortunate tenants, but I have been a long-time and consistent critic of such practices.

Nevertheless, Labour again overstretches in this policy area by suggesting there will be an option for private tenants to buy from private landlords at a discounted rate in a comparable scheme to that enjoyed by council tenants.

Tratar ativos de propriedade privada da mesma forma que os ativos estatais é a política da casa louca. Novamente, para todos os proprietários privados ruins, existem dezenas de grandes que desfrutam de um relacionamento muito bom com seus inquilinos. Muitos deles são pessoas de classe média que descobriram que suas economias estavam recebendo um retorno de 0,5% em uma conta poupança e sua provisão de pensão não valia a pena uma cenoura. Investir em propriedades tem sido um risco necessário para eles assumirem para fornecer a si e a seus filhos alguma segurança no futuro. O trabalho não quer mais as votos dessas pessoas? Maior regulamentação de locações privadas e regulamentação mais rigorosa do aluguel, principalmente em Londres, sim. Basicamente, roubar a casa das pessoas - não uma boa idéia. Parece que o Plano do Trabalho introduz uma taxa máxima de imposto de 52%. É uma "coisa" britânica, eu acho. Mesmo aqueles que não podem se incomodar em pagar seus contadores para passar horas encontrando maneiras inteligentes de evitar uma taxa de imposto razoável. Vá acima de 40% e isso muda. Em 52%, você só pode imaginar a quantidade de dinheiro que o HMRC perderá à medida que os impactados decidem 'basta'. Alguns parecem pensar.

This is another great example of Corbyn-inspired thinking throwing the baby out with the bath water. Greater regulation of private tenancies and stricter rent regulation, particularly in London, yes. Basically, stealing house of people – not such a good idea.

Then we come to the biggie – tax. It appears that Labour plan to introduce a top rate of tax of 52%.

I could argue all the reasons why I know that is a vote loser – again mostly among the middle- class voters Labour needs to win, who will probably never earn enough to be subject to such a high tax rate, but they aspire to and actually think taking more than half of someone’s income from them is simply unfair. It’s a British ‘thing’ I think.

However, and more importantly for wannabe Chancellor John McDonnell, every independent study since the war has shown that once tax levels go beyond the 40% threshold, the country’s tax-take goes down.

Most successful entrepreneurs are happy to pay their fair share of tax. Even those who aren’t can’t be bothered to pay their accountants  to spend hours finding clever ways to dodge a reasonable rate of tax. Go above 40% and that changes. At 52%, you can only imagine the amount of cash that HMRC will lose as those impacted decide ‘enough is enough’.

I could talk privatisation, defence, and a good number of other policy areas that, if put under the spotlight, may cause discomfort for Labour at a General Election.

If, however, as seems likely, the campaign is dominated by the Brexit debate, Mr. Corbyn will be happier than some seem to think.

And, if you’re like me, you may well vote Labour on the basis that five-years of Corbyn is better than a generation of ‘No Deal’ Brexit misery.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGRG93bnRvd25GcmFuayUzRnJlZl9zcmMlM0R0d3NyYyUyNTVFdGZ3JTIyJTIwY2xhc3MlM0QlMjJ0d2l0dGVyLWZvbGxvdy1idXR0b24lMjIlMjBkYXRhLXNob3ctY291bnQlM0QlMjJmYWxzZSUyMiUzRUZvbGxvdyUyMCU0MERvd250b3duRnJhbmslM0MlMkZhJTNFJTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwYXN5bmMlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnBsYXRmb3JtLnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGd2lkZ2V0cy5qcyUyMiUyMGNoYXJzZXQlM0QlMjJ1dGYtOCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[/vc_raw_html][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydHdpdHRlci10aW1lbGluZSUyMiUyMGRhdGEtaGVpZ2h0JTNEJTIyMTAwMCUyMiUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGRG93bnRvd25GcmFuayUzRnJlZl9zcmMlM0R0d3NyYyUyNTVFdGZ3JTIyJTNFVHdlZXRzJTIwYnklMjBEb3dudG93bkZyYW5rJTNDJTJGYSUzRSUyMCUzQ3NjcmlwdCUyMGFzeW5jJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZwbGF0Zm9ybS50d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRndpZGdldHMuanMlMjIlMjBjaGFyc2V0JTNEJTIydXRmLTglMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZzY3JpcHQlM0UlMjA=[/vc_raw_html][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGRG93bnRvd25GcmFuayUzRnJlZl9zcmMlM0R0d3NyYyUyNTVFdGZ3JTIyJTIwY2xhc3MlM0QlMjJ0d2l0dGVyLWZvbGxvdy1idXR0b24lMjIlMjBkYXRhLXNob3ctY291bnQlM0QlMjJmYWxzZSUyMiUzRUZvbGxvdyUyMCU0MERvd250b3duRnJhbmslM0MlMkZhJTNFJTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwYXN5bmMlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnBsYXRmb3JtLnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGd2lkZ2V0cy5qcyUyMiUyMGNoYXJzZXQlM0QlMjJ1dGYtOCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]
