I'm seeing a lot of left vs. right outlets engaged in political warfare cheer on their side and say it has a positive path forward. None more notable than the Guardian, which is trying to paint Labour's likely forthcoming victory as anything more than victory by default on a very unpopular incumbent controller of the money printer.

It's a deep mistake to make. The state has seldom been more unconstrained since COVID, with massive debt and fiscal spending, after a round of warfare by proxy, pandemic restrictions, and some amount of energy capping in the pursuit of a global transition to a different energy mix. Yet every incumbent associated with that is deeply unpopular. Electing people who will make the same sort of decision path is likely going to prove to be unpopular as well. It turns out inflation makes it nearly impossible to govern for a long time - something countries like China have more than ample experience with (ex: Ming Dynasty -> Yuan Dynasty, CCP victory over Nationalists).
