We've gone from being one of the worlds great industrial nation to being a servicable one. Even the biggest call centres are now realising that they can employ workers cheaper in the far east, just as the industrialists did after years of Thatcherism. Free market economy equals cheapest labour, which wasn't here.
Your second statement shows to me that basically you have a good heart, and will one day realise that what you believe in isn't conservatism but socialism, or at the very least liberalism.  |
Sorry I should have worded it better, what I ment to say was the need for humans in industry has declined around the world.
I know that the service sector (well parts of it anyway, like call centers as you mention) is a lot cheaper to run overseas in places like india.. but I have faith in the service sector because even things like call centers, might be cheaper, but they are not producing a better quality of service. Some companies even advertise the fact that they have UK only call centers because half the time the overseas call centers get it wrong, or you can't understand what they're saying, and people don't want that when they're dealing with money and credit cards..
I'm not saying call centers in the UK don't get it wrong a lot ('cause they do) but I find it easier if its a UK call center and i'm not the only one.
As for socialism, I can't ever see that happening
, i'm just not a far right. I believe that you can use Conservative ideologies to work for everyone not just the rich. I am strongly against just giving people money, but helping people help themselves, now thats something that encourages motivation, you can bring people out of deprivation by helping them help themselves.
