Why do all political parties sound the same now? - Richard Murphy

2nd October 2025

Are all our major political parties now the same?.

Labour, Conservatives, the Lib Dems, and even Reform are united by one ideology: neoliberalism. Fiscal rules, austerity, and the "household analogy" bind them together into what I call the Single Transferable Party.

This is why public services are always cut, inequality deepens, and investment is suppressed—no matter who wins an election.

In this video, I explain why UK democracy has been hollowed out, why real choice has disappeared, and what alternatives—like proportional representation and ending fiscal rules—we must fight for if we want genuine change.
