if i were to draw up a manifesto there would be nothing new just the same old platitudes! (so unlikely as the years pass..) water and electricity would be in the governments hands.. that goes for  trains and all essential services.. there would be a building of houses-at a fixed rent affordable to all-a decent minimum wage rigidly enforced.. income tax would fixed at 30 percent 65 and 90.. along those lines.. something to share.. we would make an equable society vivisection illegal.. like wise poverty for the old.. and children.. the arms industry folded off shore banking a thing of the past.. teachers treated with respect and paid likewise.. likewise  garbage collectors etc.. the nhs would have whatever it needs.. dentists,vets,lawyers,the city.. would bleed.. there would be howls of protest from the rich and wealthy but they may leave.. though there money would stay.. after so many years of their dominance and just look about.. capital has failed only but the few.. getting fewer.. so a few ideas off the top.. so much fairy dust still can´t hurt to dream who knows..
