I tend towards socialism. My ideal would be the basic services to be government not for profit organisations.
This would include public transport, health care, all infrastructure as well as the usual government agencies.
The rest could be free market, but the basics are too vital to be left to the whims of the market.
The railways and bus services around here used to be publicly owned but since they have moved to private ownership you get the steady cutting of vital but unprofitable services leaving many older people stranded out in the sticks.
Or you get three buses go past before you can get the one you actually have a ticket for because there are three firms on the same route.
So i am like China, a bit of socialism a bit of capitalism and everyones a winner.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
