You are now stating that having any political viewpoint on any point is automatically ideology. It isn’t.This makes no sense.
Do you want a state-funded NHS? That's an ideology.
Do you want regulation of financial institutions? That's an ideology.
Having all your views on everything aligned to a single concept, with no pragmatism and with no room for any other nuances in the mix is ideology.
I believe in an nhs, but also believe that those that want to can go private. I believe that to manage demand some private services could be used as a capacity overflow for the nhs. That’s pragmatic.
I believe in publically owned travel…but not airlines. BA is one of the few privatisations I agree with primarily because it’s not a necessity in this country, it’s a luxury.
I believe in regulation of the financial industry to ensure consumers and the economy are protected from risky practices. But the financial sector is an important part of our economy and those limits shouldn’t curtail all risk.
It’s pretty simple really
