Do these people believe in their own propaganda about how economy works that austerity-led growth is possible?
Is it that they don’t care about the party or their own reputation?
I hope Corbyn and the Greens don’t fall for the same fiscal responsibility nonsense. Never give the neoliberals an inch.
I think because a lot of the ruling class in the west has recognised that the mask of capital will need to come off sooner or later and this notion of “liberal democracy” has run its course. They aren’t bothering to win elections by appealing to the working class, they are appealing the wealthy in the hopes of getting to be the ones running things once even their sham democracy is abandoned.
