Would you stay in a socialist country or emmigrate?

We are being offered a choice of staying with a mixed market economy or moving towards a socialist paradise where govt determines prices. A sort of Venezuela lite (light). If we move towards the latter would you stay or look to take your family elsewhere?

We do live in a socialist state. It is just a matter of degree.

As opposed to cartels setting the price by clubbing their greedy corrupt heads to together and pushing it to what they think they can get away with before people turn up mob handed and drag them out and set them on fire ?
That kind of price setting ?

Depends rather on whether we can sell the capitalist style country farm house......

You missed lite

The biggest recipients of government handouts ( or welfare if you like) are the people that need it least.

We already have socialism... for the super-rich.

The rest of us have to embrace capitalism and rely on our own endeavours.

I know what lie meant. The other two changed the meaning of the question completely. Hence asking.

In my view we're being offered the choice between two out of touch over-privileged numpties who stand around talking a lot of drivel which they don't intend to do but who essentially have the same policies (which are to talk a lot of hot air for five years and then try to get another five years to do the same).

We're the country that helped organise the German economy get back on its feet again after WWII and then forgot to so the same kind of interventions on our own economy. Is either party capable of making the same turnaround here?

Or is it just as Chewey suggests just us choosing which rich people will sit at the top ignoring whatever happens and letting our economic rollercoaster dip (and hopefully rise) without doing the bulk of the country any much good at all?
