It’s not even a middle ground in any real sense. It’s the middle ground of our political parties and media that is fairly solidly right-wing/neoliberal.
We’re stuck in the same self-serving, right-leaning rut that has been failing the UK and its citizens for a couple of decades. Let alone not being fit for purpose to address the actual challenges of the world in 2023.
None of this can come as any real surprise to anyone. | |

Probably. But it’s the last couple of decades we’ve established an almost entirely right-wing consensus across the mainstream parties. | |

Egalitarianism, a planned economy, huge infrastructure projects, open borders for people and capital, the assault on private life and the assault on the British religion are not right wing policies. They’re the other thing. |  |
