    Having a strong central government, answerable to an educated populace. All necessary services are nationalized. Corporations are not people

        I’m having trouble formulating this coherently because I’m tired and have adhd but here goes. I think that by curtailing the absolute freedom of an individual you can give more actual freedom to more people. Essentially that the government isn’t the only place you should fear tyranny from. A strong government can prevent small tyrants from running roughshod over others. Eg don’t let someone/corps dump waste, this denies people clean water, natural beauty, etc. Robust social programs funded by aggressive taxation mean more people have the freedoms that health brings, freedom of movement via extensive public transport. It also should allow us to tackle big problems that need a lot of coordination, such as climate change

        An improved UK, nationalize water companies, fund the NHS, nationalize public transport. Economic opportunity for the North, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
