I have to make serious replies to the message before, and this one looked simpler to do in one go, but then it expanded larger...
my sides
... my other idea was...
-The majority were small businesses (0 to 49 employees),
...the large amount of 'self employed' individuals, with or without a workmate or two. And wondering how many of these are "technical employees" of their own personal company (of 1),which is in turn contracted to work (zero-hours or otherwise) for a larger company, for 'administrative' reasons. (For high professionals, to most benefit the person, for many others to only the benefit of the company that contracts the company that manages the individualisitic companies that contain one employee (or maybe a handful, whatever is most 'convenient'). Also means multiple companies per person, though zome shared.)
Ay, you don't get employers without first having gotten entrepreneurs
Vast majority will either be them or some people with a family business. Well, could be, that's just my guess
You really complicated that one by suggesting Public Schools (UK) as per Private Schools (US).
Nah I said public education, not public schools, and the Murricans have different terminology for their equivalents which is worth mentioning because Americans are the most people on the internet
Not just financial companies, all companies!
Yes, but you had lauded the financial companies, said they were the core, so I ws running with that.
That's why I'm saying all companies
You musread what I thought I wrote there. I was musing that in "Mining, Forestry and Tap Dancing Schools" (or whatever the category was) that people mining, in London, would be pretty sparse. (Whilst Forestry, probably a different catagory but beyond scroll-back horizon, covers various Royal Park employees and tree surgeons both independent and Council employed, so I was not surprised to see that one mentioned)
Yeah it's miners based in London, same as for forestry peeps, you don't extract much from the ground you sleep on
THEY ASSUMED THEY WERE TOO BIG TO NEED INNOVATION
THEY WERE WRONG! :D[
I thought the problems were too much financial 'innovation'. "Tell you what, how about we let people bet on the outcome of other people's bets that major company's bets about whether a homeowner had corectly bet that he could pay his mortgage off, if he actually won the Lottery? But we hedge a bet against them, just to make sure!"
If you think that was caused by innovation you are in for a long fall, cos the number of people who've gotten by with stagnancy number in the Ottomans

I don't get a say as to who is Prime Minister (to any practical degree).
You don't participate in party elections?
No, because I've never been a member of a political party. (Tempted by the OMRLP, though. Either that, or try to join all of them. Well, the palatable ones, at least.) But I don't have a party allegience, so I never thought it worth it. I support candidates by voting for them in elections, whoever I find personally appealing, including which side of their own party they lie.
I have zero party allegiance to any of them, still won't deprive myself of influence on purpose
The choosing of a Prime Minister is layers of abstraction away from that interaction. I hope that my vote for my candidate leads to their party coming top, with (now, or in the future) a leader at their swing, in the intra-pary spectrum. But it's a low hope, in the face of other people voting good MPs out of office because they don't like the current leadership (of a different hue) or vote bad MPs in just because they like the cover-photo face of the party concerned. But I work with what I have.
It's an imperfect system to be true
I thought we all got to pick our local MP
Well, if we're in general concordance with our neighbours, perhaps. But, even then, <see above for details>...
I live in Southwark where my choices lie with the socialist globalists or the socialist globalists, concordance with out neighbour's changes little in regards to having the choice to pick our MPs. Some rather interesting decisions arise, I'm finally getting me a bridge! Well, maybe. Very likely to get a bridge!
(No, I don't support PR. That gives me even less say about which person my vote puts into parliament, let alone government. Although then I'd probably play "chase the nicer leader", like I can't/won't do now. And then suffer those others that I don't like who were put high on the party list for <reasons>, while other amicable 'listers' just don't make the cut. Or do I bet on how far down the list my vote will count for?)
I don't know, the way I see it you should always keep striving to working for a better future, the only issue being how we all interpret that differently. Still, keep working at it do I, I don't mind how significant or insignificant I am, it is what it is - if I cared about that, I'd care about nothing
