Throwing the “Proletariats" (underclass) to the proverbial lions is not a long term option for the morally bankrupt ruling classes. The capitalist system can never deliver social harmony and a crime free society because it is underpinned by greed. The Haves will always hold on to their wealth at any cost and the Have-nots will go to any lengths to secure their share. Before the political elite can even begin to re-engage with the millions of disenfranchised UK citizens, they will need to demonstrate transparency accountability and above all honesty, within the corridors of power. They should climb down from the high moral ground - which they have no right to occupy - and take a long hard look at their own behaviour if they are to govern with any credibility.Originally Posted by cornishbob
