Ramaswamy belongs in the showmanship tradition of P T Barnum , as does Donald Trump. Barnum was of course wrong - there are thousands of suckers born every minute.

This site describes what Vivek and the Republications will do the common man when/if they gain the power to do so http://www.project2025.org

As for the points of his manifesto the Black Adder summed up its contents with his immortal words - Utter Crapp!

Meanwhile if you really do your homework you will find that the old political and cultural order (such as it was) is now well and truly dead. The appearance of the orange-haired monstrosity is in-your face proof of such.

This is the "ground zero" moment of human history, but not merely referring to an empty pit in New York. The whole world is at ground zero now. The entire basis for positive human civilization has been totally destroyed.

The modern everyman of consumer society is a propagandized individual, participating in a "culture" of illusions and, effectively, self-destructing.

At present, a "culture" of total war, a "culture" of death is ruling, while the people are engrossed in mindless consumerism and thus being stupefied.

The entire pattern and trend of current human culture and everything relating to the current domain of whats-in-it-for-me consumer politics, social egoity, competitive social systems, tribalistic national systems, un-regulated economics, and conventional religiosity is about death.

I think UK politicians don't have the imagination for anything better. Our revolution happened about 700 years ago. There has not been a political shift since that shook the country to it's core. Everything since has been drip, drip.

All who seek to change things on a political level at present have not come from working or lower middle class. They have never engaged or understood the common man. Their vision is only based on political changes. Brexit is the exception. If change and an uprising didn't happen in 2016 I fear no politician has the strength of mind to achieve it. They are all still playing in parliament's sandpit.
