Do you believe extreme elite groups must exist?

The concentration of power within a small proportion of society can lead to the belief that these people's position is justified or beneficial for society's stability.

Economic systems like the extreme capitalism of the Trump/Farage/Conservative Party kind, can also reinforce the idea that inequality is a natural or necessary outcome of individual effort and talent.

If you agree that we need these groups of the ultra rich, could you explain to the rest of us your reasoning/justification for such inequality?

Thanks lemons.

I quite liked being Lathers. V appropriate because I indulged in a Sanctuary Spa body scrub in the shower this morning
(Too much information 😱)

I did read the manifesto originally but it struck me as a statement of aspiration rather than anything that formed a plan of how they were going to achieve anything. And I don’t believe I’ve seen any kind of coherent thought or action in the past months to give me any kind of confidence or indeed trust in this government.

It’s very sad.

Sorry for my typo Lathtyrus 🥱, I was on my way out for GP appointment and didn't want to be late. Just as I typed in your name correctly just now- auto correct changed again to Lathers, I will take better care to check in future!
