Dear Friends & Colleagues.

I have posted an op-ed (written November 6, 2019) on the UK election titled “A Conservative win will create a neoliberal hot zone and dissolve the UK: here’s how to stop it”.

I could not get it published because it was too dull and didactic, and too partisan or not partisan enough.

Anyway, I think it was analytically spot-on so I am sharing it.

Also, it makes clear the very special circumstances of the UK election. It is a gross distortion to extrapolate from the UK to the US. Unfortunately, that is exactly what elite US media (e.g. New York Times) and neoliberal Democrats are now doing.

Best,

Tom
