Not sure where you get your logic from, Benjamin.

The horse is the inner nature of capitalism; the horse jockey is the inner nature of government. As you can tell, there is no individual nature in this analogy of horse and horse jockey. Yet it does show that the individual forces occurring in society are at play here in two distinct manners, once via businesses and their business interests and once via governments governing society.

When Brexit occurred, the EU immediately showed signs of moving away from the naked neolibertarian approach that the UK represents (with their worse than winner-take-all voting system); it is not just the Scandinavian countries that embrace the stronger horse jockey of social-democracy.

Minimum wages started to rise (almost instantly), and when Covid and the Russian invasion of Ukraine occurred, the very rich got taxed more to help out society as a whole.

As you know, Truss could not do what Thatcher accomplished. Truss did the exact same thing, but Thatcher was inside the EU (EEC back then) and all other nations had to follow the race to the bottom because investors loved what Thatcher did. Truss did the same and no one in the EU followed because the UK is outside the EU.

Europe's mainland is social democratic in a great variety of ways, and now that the UK is out, that SD sentiment is veering back. The horse jockeys have more control over their horses because the UK race horse is now outside that better controlled playing field.

Thank you for your reply.
