The pictorial is taken from The Equality Trust website. Wilkinson and Picket are authors of “The Spirit Level” and describe how inequality in societies affect a broad spectrum of social and health outcomes, and as the sub-title states-why equality is good for everyone. Even people in the shires.
The graphic shows all recent governments have done nothing for equality. It is nothing to do with the colour of the team, but that they have had the same basic premise of how society should work, and who should be influential. So, despite Cameron’s concept of a “Big Society”, progress will not be made as he does not consider the influence of the “elephant in the room”-the corporate sector.
Happy governing. And now the government has been determined, we will truly see what people are made of and what their intentions are, and who in the tent pulls the strings.
