Well let's just hope it doesn't cede space to the far right in the exact way that has happened in America and Europe.
(Also, I'm all for more taxation to spend on public services - my point is that by focusing on the fiscal vision, and not what the fiscal vision is meant to enable, Labour squandered the chance to move that conversation)
