First published here in the Morning Star during my campaign for deputy leader of the Green Party of England and Wales.

The neoliberal consensus had captured the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats, and despite a brief attempt by Jeremy Corbyn to make Labour more socially democratic, Labour has since swung back to the right.
