A new dawn is breaking in British politics, as a new coalition lays its roots in Number Ten.At the heart of it lies one man, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He’s here to save Britain with an ego bigger than the amount of times the so called Classical Liberals have u-turned and flip flopped. The messiah is here, “The British people have had enough” and his so-called centrist project is here to deliver for the common man, he tells us he is different, he tells us he offers a new style of politics. For a man who professes to abhor populism, he seems to be reading from the populists playbook, each and every step of the way, frequently claiming to be the hero of ordinary people.

I ,for one, find it comical that as a career politician who opportunistically formed his own party, seeing a gap in the market,and reaping the reward of the second most powerful job in the country, presents himself to be an everyday man who wants to listen. This is a man who regrets the people ever had a say on Europe, he couldn't care less what people think because after all he is the messiah we need, without Saunders running our lives for us how could we possibly survive?

He would sell the people of this country down the river for his euro dream, giving away powers to Brussels and reducing the power of national and sovereign governments. Whilst his fellow europhiles have moved on, he is still mourning over our departure and seeking to undo the democratic mandate given to politicians by the British people. Be under no illusions, he only supports democracy if it happens to align with his ends, otherwise he classes it as populism and sneers upon people who don’t agree with him, the same way which he sneers on smokers and drinkers driven by his thirst to raise sin taxes to rake in more revenue for bureaucrats like him to spend on lavish wasteful projects.

He wants to cut the Land Value Tax, and criticises previous Governments for relying too heavily on it. At the same time he plans to increase VAT on ordinary working people (as outlined in his manifesto) whilst striving for lavish tax cuts on his wealthy liberal elite donors and friends in London. When one sets aside his flashy rhetoric and examines the details in his policy you see where his true interests lie.

The British people have had enough of liars like the Chancellor who says one thing and does the exact opposite, Saunders promised to be different, yet at the slightest sniff of power he has rolled over to his new overlords to embrace the extremist policy of open borders despite by his own admission of their being no mandate to do so, in other words he is actively pursuing policies he believes there is no mandate for. If you had reason to doubt he was a man of the people, one only needs to look at this opportunistic u-turn. Together with his new Classical Liberal colleagues he will help open the UK’s borders with no regard for workers and communities across the UK at the same time expecting the taxpayer pick up the bill by making it easier to obtain welfare.

Saunders is an easy chap to please. He acts like a giddy teenage boy who has just discovered a Playboy mag, or in this case Keynesian Economics.He clearly feels that he is far more noble than anyone in this country and can run their lives better than they can. Winter is the only time saunders attempts to keep his hands in own pockets, give him anyones hard earned pay check and he wants a huge chunk of it to fund his keynesian fantasy land. His dogma is unmoved from the lost decades in Japan or the 1970s.Our milquetoast messiah has arrived, he’s here to save us from his self identified problem of self autonomy, self governance and individual responsibility.

Saunders and his gang of incompetent charlatans in the SDP attempt to mask their agenda behind the veil of being ‘moderate’. This gang of fraudsters are going to have to try harder to pull the wool the eyes over voters eyes. His buddy thepootispower subscribes to degrowth theory and would happily to see the UK slide into recession to realise the ideological goals of the SDP. There is nothing moderate racking up massive deficits, overturning two referendums and degrowth theory. Tony Blair, who Saunders loves to praise opposed a 50p top rate of tax, had prescription charges and a voting age at 18. The SDP in reality are just as far-left as the modern day Labour Party and are just a bunch of unwanted rejects who have found a political home to try and hold the balance of power to keep themselves relevant.

An important thing to note when it comes to the SDP is that they spend a great deal of their time trying to point out how inoffensive they are, yet every waking hour seems to be spent causing offence. Whether it be dismissing opposition MPs' qualms simply for opposing the government well,publicly hauling members over the cobblers for innocuous comments or taking time out of everyday to cajole and undermine any decision from their norm, the SDP are absolutely a repetition of the wretched dogma they swore to destroy. They also seem to believe that they are rational pragmatists, but their policy papers and manifesto pledges tend to point at the greatest attempt to Scandinavianise British politics since the Radical Socialists attempted to implement the original iteration of the Rehn-Meidner model through the Companies Act.

I of course opposed that legislation and see that capitulation to the unions only leads south, but one thing you can say about the RSP is that they at least were honest about their intentions to shakeup politics in whatever guise they saw fit, much like the LPUK have been on the right. The SDP attempt to provide radical socialist policy by shunning radicalism and shying away from socialism. It's pure dishonesty and it frankly smacks of a party who wanted to make the right friends whilst putting out the wrong message to make them.

I must also make it perfectly clear that I have worked with some SDP members in prior coalitions, and some are clearly productive towards our parliamentary democracy. But some Social Democrats are so incendiary, so flatulent in braindead rhetoric, so adverse to socialism yet so socialist, that I would consider them to be nothing more than a scorchmark on the dustbin of history. The fact that these members dominate the party in policy and publicly is testament to the "job" the SDP leader has done in commandeering the Titanic towards its icy doom, and I fear that a similar approach to life in the Treasury will make Three Mile Island look like a routine x-ray.
