The Westminster System - A British Interactive AAR

[LordTempest]

What she is trying to say is that people have the right to form groups, but not force their agenda down on others.
The said group cannot prevent other group from working.
Also if they want to strike, the employers have all rights to hire new people to work.
Those all are concepts of freedom.

The state should not give in to special pressure groups.

And that would do absolutely nothing to stop the Trade Unions doing what they did in Britain in OTL, as I have said already.

But an absolutely nonsensical cavalry charge would.
That's my proposed solution to all the worker strikes in UK - an oldschool cavalry charge. Let's see how much these workers want to strike when they are trampled under the iron hooves of British warhorses.

Oh God no... The readers of the Manchester Guardian don't need another one of those to develop a strange fixation over.

Some old schools hussars or cuirassiers... mhmhm yeees.

Seriously, you think Eden will be doing that? The man is no Right-wing demagogue a'la Churchill; thank God.

Eden may be too left for me, but at least the Conservative Party will be in government and although the dreadful Labour Party policies won't be pulled back, at least they'll be stopped.

The Conservatives are not for a free market, they even went from their more free market orientated policies to social liberal ones.

However unions are a vital part of the free market. Everyone have the right to organize themselves. That is what the free market it based upon; spontanous order and organization. We can't interfere in the unions in any way! That is the problem with the labor and communist party. They want to give the unions powers they don't have i.e by dicating the regulations. But unions in itself are not evil and is something great as it represent the workers.

Well, let's hope the free market National Liberals will merge with the Conservatives, and have more influence on policy decisions.

Unions do not deserve to be as powerful as the Labour Party has allowed them to become. Maybe, they should not be eliminated but at the very least their power should be scaled back.

And how can we know this before it happen may I ask? Do I need to remind you that we're in 1954 and simply can't predict what happened - in real life - decades later? It is not relevant for what I am talking about, since we simply can't know that it will (or if it will) happen. Therefore what you're saying are irrelvant. It would be like my character would speak of measurements to not go into the Crimean crisis or 2008 financial crisis. It make no sense since it is so long way into the future and it is not on the common mans or politicians mind.

But Tanzhang isn't talking about the future at all. He's talking about stuff which happened in our timeline which may never even happen here. There's a big difference. All he's doing is using examples to back up points – which, quite frankly, is what one's meant to do when making bold statements about national issues.

Also, My Honourable Friend and also stressed that, outside of electoral campaigns, he talks out of character.

Says the Member who once used, and I quote: "I study economics and once won a prize as the best young economist in Norway" as a justification for an argument.

I am merely pointing out that the policies on unions put forth by yourself would have no impact whatsoever in preventing the industrial crisis which occurred in OTL, and therefore would have no effect in preventing - or even mitigating - a similar crisis occurring in the years to follow should one occur. There is nothing wrong in citing precedent to back up one's argument, especially in an out-of election debate like this one.

An award that either does not exist. Or exists too much.

Maybe she meant "one of..."?

Norway doesn't even possess a economy. It's just a group of Socialists that throw money at Social Programs and hope for the best.

Scandinavia should promptly be restored.

She must really love it there.

Being the best Economist is like being the best Witch-doctor, whatever you say might sound more impressive but it still bears no resemblence to reality

Without economists there wouldn't be socialism, arguably.

Then shoot the economists.

BTW 99, I'm pretty sure that new sig of yours breaches the 10-line rule.

Quick, throw Tanzhang in the trunk. He knows too much...

It's sometimes hard to tell on an iPad, but I'd say that getting rid of the double spacing between your AARs and your characters should fix it.

 

[Enewald]

It's a clever way to keep economists employed; first some economist comes with the idea of socialism, some others try said idea in practice, the the other economists spend the next millennium fixing the collateral damage.
Rinse and repeat.
