Labour's preoccupation with 'values' is a basic political error | Alan Finlayson

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : But Labour too often seems embarrassed by its own Green New Deal, even as Joe Biden implements his.
48% : I will support your call to end student debt if you support mine for higher pensions.
47% : Specialists in voting behaviour have found that if you want to guess how someone voted in the last election your chance of being right is higher if you combine information about individuals' social, economic or occupational situation with their response to so-called "value statements" (about, say, capital punishment, schooling or legal authority).
45% : They had a range of different demands that, in 2019, the Conservatives promised to fulfil by getting Brexit done.
27% : Such wants come in all shapes, colours and sizes: higher pensions, no restrictions on planning, more national flags on public buildings, fewer wars, capital punishment, no workplace harassment, affordable housing, the cancellation of student debt, more windfarms.
