...if you think cost of living issue is a domestic issue, think again.
...in free market economy, no Govt nor party can stop market forces from curbing rise in inflation, the only way to stop it is to force a recession, even then you could still have stagflation.
...the way to beat inflation is to curb spending on non-necessities and consume less, less demand drives prices lower.

...hence the spectre of the K economy.
