letter to labour mps arguing for keynes

 I am writing to you today to express my concern about the Labour Party's leadership's current neoliberal position. I believe that the Labour Party is now the same as the Conservative party, and that Labour is following the ideology of the Institute of Economic Affairs.

I am a lifelong Labour supporter, and I am deeply disappointed in the party's current direction. I believe that Labour should adopt a Keynesian economic approach, with the slogan "take Keynes to the market."

John Maynard Keynes is considered one of the most important economists. The Insititute of Economic Affairs and proponents of free market economics attack Keynesian theory. 

Keynesian economics is a theory of macroeconomics that argues that government intervention in the economy is necessary to prevent or mitigate recessions and depressions.

Keynesian economics is based on the idea that aggregate demand is the driving force of economic growth. Aggregate demand is the total amount of goods and services that consumers, businesses, and governments want to buy at current prices. When aggregate demand is low, the economy will go into recession.

Keynesian economists argue that the government can increase aggregate demand by spending money on public works projects, providing tax cuts, and lowering interest rates. These measures will stimulate the economy and lead to economic growth.

I believe that Labour should adopt a Keynesian economic approach because it is the best way to create jobs, grow the economy, and reduce inequality. 

Keynesian economics has been proven to work, and it is the only economic theory that has the potential to solve the problems that we are facing today.

Unfortunately, Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are following a supply side approach that cannot work

I urge you to support a Keynesian economic approach for the Labour Party. I believe that this is the best way to move the country forward and to create a better future for all.
