Do you agree?

    We need a good economy so we can afford things like the NHS, but yes the economy ideally would benefit every Brit, rather than just a few rich people.

      No, we need to abolish capitalism so we can have free access to healthcare (and food, water, shelter), not to continue playing by the rules set out for us by those who profit from commodifying our basic needs and human rights.

      How can you improve the economy when no one has enough purchasing power?

      Millions of Brits are unemployed or underemployed. Put them to work first.

      First hire health workers, first produce and import medical equipment. “Anything we can actually do, we can afford.” and all that.
