    The problem is that you’ll be richer in a much poorer society which means in real terms you still lose out. You’ll be living in a country with basically no social safety net. Under the Tories if you get sick there’s no more NHS and you’ll have to go private and it will cost a lot more than those £100. Your kids will have to go to underfunded schools which will negatively affect their education and life prospects, you’ll need to continuously run a car because public transportation infrastructure will be non-existent. Hopefully your house never gets broken into because you you’ll never get justice due to the underfunding of the police. Which will lead to more crime.

    In the long run you’ll lose out. I’d much rather give up £100 today to mitigate future problems

    It’s about long-term sustainability. They know they’ll be out of power soon so they don’t give a rat’s arse about sustainability.
