Ian Birrell's article comparing French Presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron with the UK Labour Party provided much food for thought. Corbyn's Labour Party has a worrying parallel to the French Front National by presenting a mostly negative view of globalisation. Tony Blair had the right idea in emphasising the overwhelming net benefits in embracing a globalised economy while using the state to empower people enough to deal with its challenges. Corbyn's attention meanwhile focuses too much on Labour interest groups such as jobs in industry and public sector workers, while Theresa May largely ignores either sectors. The future lies in a vision that sees the big picture of the British economy though the eyes of all workers and not just interest groups.
