    Inflation at 3-10% over the last few years
    Population 10% higher every 10 years
    “Nah, we can keep costs at the same level as the 90s, no problem”

      The problem is with the current government and not the next to come. They have broken the country. There is only so much you can do after an episode with such a corrupt group in power.

        After World War Two and a broken, penniless Britain, Labour introduced the Welfare State. This country was still on rations but the Labour leadership knew that there needed to be radical change and had a vision of a better Britain. Worrying that they couldn’t afford it wasn’t an option.

        That’s what we need now - especially so at a time of climate catastrophe - but Starmer’s Labour Party refuse to do so.

        I mean, everything I’ve heard about Starmer is pretty awful too. He just sounds like another Tory, it’s sad how few different options we have.

          O aye in what way? Do you really think we should continue with the current set of thieves?

            In the way he basically doesn’t stand for anything and keeps saying he will continue austerity by not giving public workers raises.

            Obviously I’m taking him over Sunak, but he’s one of the worst alternatives I’ve seen in my voting career.

              I am not a Labour supporter. I am very much anti-tory. I see Tories as nothing more than thieves. Labour is the most obvious choice to remove the scum we have now. What I would really want to see is a PR voting implementation. Remove the dominance of the two main parties. The system is far too easily to corrupt atm. Hearing that Starmer met with Murdoch filled me with dread. First port of call has to be to take the best option to remove the thieves we have currently.
