Q

Example of Labour economic policy (nationalisation)

A

In the 2019 Labour manifesto, the party promised to nationalised the so-called big 6 energy firms, the National Grid, the water industry, Royal Mail, railways and the broadband arm of BT.

This would mark the biggest ownership takeover by the state since the nationalisations that occurred since the outbreak of WW2, and shows that Labour remains true to its traditional values and principles because it harks back to Clause 4 of the Labour Party Constitution which calls for the common ownership of industry.

48
Q

Example of Labour economic policy (taxation)

A

Labour’s proposal of a staggering increase in taxes in their manifesto (close to £83bn a year by 2023-24) for the top earners and businesses and spending £150bn on upgrading public sector services like the NHS and schools is also true to its principles implies that Labour remains true to its traditional values and principles as it suggests greater redistribution of wealth and boosts the public sector.

49
Q

How much Labour’s vote share fall by in 2019?

A

Nearly 8% with 35% of defectors (YouGov) blaming Corbyn and his leadership, especially considering that his far-left economic policies were highly controversial as they’re outdated, expensive and arguably a throwback to the 1980s.

50
Q

Example of Labour welfare policy (UC)

A

• In the 2019 Labour manifesto, the party promised to scrap Universal Credit and replace the 5-week waiting time with interim payment.

In addition, they promised to remove the benefit cap and 2-child limit on the Child element of Universal Credit.

51
Q

Example of Labour welfare policy (Food)

A

The party promised to introduce ‘Right to Food’ which would halve food bank usage within a year and apparently remove the need altogether within 3-years.

This implies that the party remains true to its traditional principles and values as it seeks to improve the lives of the country’s lowest earners through improved benefits and reducing income inequality as well as food inequality.

52
Q

Example of Blair Labour welfare policy

A

Tony Blair’s advisors drew up plans in 2004 to scrap the disability benefit premium, paid to up 1.1 million people. This would’ve meant that over 1 million claimants would’ve lost benefits of £23.30 a week,

53
Q

Example of Labour education policy

54
Q

Example of Blair education policy

A

Although Labour also promised to scrap university tuition fees, they also introduced them in the first place through the Teaching and Higher Education Act (1998) which set an annual tuition fee for England of £1,000.

In addition, it was Labour who raised it in 2003 to £3,000 per annum.
