A free market within a politically united NATO (including future members as Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Israel) is the next stepping stone for the western democracies. This means that one currency is needed to bring commercially vitality within a specific common geopolitical market area for the next decades. Cultural globalisation is not the goal as many think who either work for as a concept or theory.
Blond grew up in Liverpool saying he was deeply affected by the systematic Thatcher destruction of the city. So he turned to the TORIES! Duh! He is the architect behind the confusing Tory "Big Society". Liverpool's Labour Council said they would have ago and dropped it as no one knew what it really was.
One thing is clear, turning to the backward, anachronistic Tories will not deliver what he wants.
He needs to "fully" understand Geoism and how that can be the vehicle of his aims and desires
@NearAbbeyRoad Well historically the Tories have had a regard for the poor which can be traced back to before the Labour Party's creation. Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli was a Conservative, yet he still knew the importance of helping the poor of Britain. The same can be said of Harold Macmillan. The conservative party only had a drastic change to this more classical liberal ideology after Thatcher became Prime Minister and outsourcing in the UK lead to more economic individualism.
Tories never understood the poor. Any regard for the poor they had was scant. Most of them knew why poverty came about but chose to ignore it - their greed overtook them. The grinding poverty that came because of the industrial revolution is always made worse under them. No social reform came from them. ln fact they always opposed it. Cameron opposed getting rid of hereditary peers. Economic riots are always under the Tories:1981.1985, miners, students, poll tax, 2011
@NearAbbeyRoad I just stated that it was only after Thatcher that the dissatisfaction and riots began. She was the one who lead to the outsourcing of the British economy and eventually destroyed our infrastructure. However, Harold Macmillan and Benjamin Disraeli are clear examples of what Red Toryism or One Nation Conservatism is all about. Disraeli created the Young England group specifically to tackle the exploitation of the poor from the aristocrats.
Tories only paper over the cracks of poverty. They know that once they are fed have a very small roof over their heads, football & beer they are OK and no revolution will come about. They keep the poor calm rather than eliminate grinding poverty. Geoist economics will drag the poor out of permanent poverty with Land Value Tax at its core. The Tories oppose any LVT - wondered why? The 1909 Commons vs Lords conflict was that LVT was to be introduced. Tories are an anachronism
@NearAbbeyRoad I don't take the Tories of today seriously. I would whole heartedly agree with you, but historically they have been truly about society as a whole.
The Tories view on society as a whole, does not work. History proves that. The party is riddled, negative, divisive class- its prime tool. It supports a ruling strata of public school/Oxbridge, etc. They think the trickle down effect works, when history proves it does not.
Most of those i know who vote for them do so out of prejudice - some bee in their bonnet about, blacks, the local council estate, etc. The intelligent and worldly people I know give them a wide berth.
What we need is distributism. Neither Socialism nor Capitalism. We need true mutualism and co-ownership. Not collectivism nor individualism but communitarianism. Aristotle > John Locke & Marx
So basically the guy is advocating a mixed economy that does not provide welfare i.e., fascism. Nothing new. How about we simply get rid of the socialistic aspects of the present state, such as the monetary system? Shifting around the role of the state is a naive approach.
Initiating the use of force to meet the prerogatives of the state (taxation) is opposed to the immediate interests of (most) citizens. Can the state be managed to serve the long term interests of society while prohibiting individual right to use and dispose of property, I think not. These notions of a common good that can be achieved through the state are idealistic at best and a disguise for raw power and domination at the worst.
@skunkwerksrc It has been tried in a controlled manner with deregulation, that has resulted in numerous financial failures, that take at least a decade to recover from.

"One Nation Conservatism"
This is a contradiction in terms. The Tories promote class divisions. They have an odd view of what one nation is.

Factors of production:
LAND
CAPITAL
LABOUR
The Tories want a poverty level to keep wages down - rigging LABOUR. That is a part of their rigging the free-market. The Tories rig LAND as well.
They preach the free-market which a big con-trick, as they are the biggest riggers of the free-market.
How anyone takes this party seriously in this day and age and when looking at their record is beyond me.

The state= a monopoly of the use of force.
Initiating the use of force to meet the prerogatives of the state (taxation) is opposed to the immediate interests of (most) citizens.

1. Maintaining the free-market ensuring no rigging, which it is, & eliminating monopolies is the role of the state. It now does neither.
2. Eliminate speculation on LAND and its RESOURCES (i.e no copper derivatives)
3. Use Land Valuation Taxation (this will vastly reduce speculation on LAND)
4. Use no Income Tax
The above would make his dream work
a) Welfare state can be retained
b) Enterprise will flourish
c) Elimination of boom & busts (1929 & 2008 were land fueled)
