#1 Well, here in America, Boofay and the C*ck Bros believe "labor" is diseased illiterates who might work once they get here. Dems want hollyweird money and GOPe will take whatever it can get. So who does "the working person" vote for?

#2 Question MM, who is "the working person"?

I was a nail banger for ~10 years mostly independent. Was I a working person?
Then I changed careers and I did pretty well in the IT sphere for 30+ years by working hard for both large and small companies. Was I a working person? How about the Supervisors/managers for whom I worked, were they working people? How about the stock brokers/analysts who managed my 401K were/are they working people?

The world has changed from the days of Ford, Carnegie, Rockefeller, et.al. The definition of working people needs to change too.

#4 Can't have a high trust social democracy without a nation and that means ending subsidised migration.

No demos, no nation, no society, no democracy.

#5 Alan. Did anyone benefit from your labor in addition to you? You were working...

#6 My definition of middle class is that you can afford a full time employee (see Mary Poppins' employer).

If you haven't got one, you're working class, but you might disagree.
