With two candidates for the next UK PM having polar opposite views on how to fix the economy, who do you think is more correct in their proposal: Sunak or Truss?

[kshacker]

Care to explain the opposite views? They both come from the same party so presumably have lot in common as opposed to Labor and LibDems.

Truss thinks trickle down economics of cutting taxing to business will generate growth and stimulate prospects for poor people.

Sunak thinks taxing businesses and the well off so that we can fund support to the less well off is the right approach.

Labour and Lib Dems are further left in that they want to cut off any growth in electricity prices and maybe nationalise electricity firms.

[kshacker]

Yeah did not expect any different from Labor and Lib Dems, was curious about the 2 candidates. Interesting to see Sunak taking a non "modern conservative" approach, quite different from Grover Norquist school of thought. Wonder if any R candidate from the American side would even be able to take such a stance.

[Latty]

Assuming one has to be "more correct" is a fool's errand. You are talking about the dregs of an already corrupt and ideologically (rather than evidence) driven party that was further culled to only those who were willing to support the current inept and corrupt PM.

The Tories are so out of ideas and people with any talent or charisma, they think these two are the best they have to offer. Both have literally nothing to address this except doubling down on fantasy economics that we can see hasn't worked up to this point.

Neither one will be held accountable for what they ultimately do so what does it matter what they say prior to appointment?
