,,, valid points you're making here. I'm seeing this where I am, in New Zealand. Centre-left Party with a majority in Parliament but they've largely retained the free market framework established in the mid 1980s which presently sees us ranked as the third most deregulated economy in the world. They'll have to retain it to pay for the state of the art welfare system they wish to see balancing any gains we may make in economic growth.

A Friedmanian wet dream.... on line stock markets, social safety nets and ecotourism. In other words, nauseating 3rd Way incrementalism...Gramsci would be proud!
