Would you consider placing 50,000 partisan staff into the heart of a country's civil service something like creating a "deep state"?

I'd have thought that the core messages of the left were pretty simple. However, they are not consistent with our political and social framework. This says, your voice is important. Vote for what is best for you, your neighbour is secondary. A new fridge for you trumps better health for a stranger

We champion freedom of speech and open democracy but struggle when this opens the door to intolerance based on simplistic and populist messages.

The left has yet to find a response that deals with the problems of everyday real life experience, that relates to the aspirations of the disenchanted.
