The Tory/Labour merger has delivered on that promise, and ONLY that promise, for decades. The infiltration of the NHS is part of that process. You don't have to agree with Corbyn to realise he's a deviation from that track, albeit a minor one because the British people are so entranced and seduced it has become almost impossible to provoke them into representing their own and society's interests. But this is all mapped out so clearly in the statistics so-called economists deliver with such authority. One market for the rich (communism), unbridled capitalism for the rest and the Labour Party has triumphantly led this charge since the quisling Blair absconded with the party's founding principles. Now the full ambition of the Party and the distinction that's sold as choice is £50 more for the unemployed, in return for the one-sided mechanics of "the economy" remaining unmolested. You could call that a political alternative I suppose, but it takes a lot of imagination do to it.
