As the various politicians set out their plans for London, it strikes me how easily a party could get our votes if only they thought a bit more creatively about what we actually want from life. We late-capitalist, neoliberal London types are pretty transactional after all, in it for ourselves and open to a bit of harmless bribery.
Frankly, everything the parties are offering sounds exactly the same and although it all seems fine, if a bit blah, there’s also the meta narrative of can we trust any of them to deliver things they’ve been saying they’ll do for years? We all know the answer to that.
