The next few years will be interesting.
It's looking very likely Labour will win the election but, by will they have a majority?
The local council losses by the Conservative party were shared across a few parties.
If labour win and manage to achieve everything they say they can, we'll all be thousands of pounds better off. Universities will be free, nurses will be earning 40k a year, minimum wage will be £15 an hour, NHS waiting times will be minutes and there will be no asylum seekers left as all applications will have been processed, to name a few scenarios. It's all a bit unlikely.
If Labour win and fail to achieve all they say, when they announce they'll have to raise taxes or cut public spending, when they realise they need to make a few more Uturns, voters will realise it was more the situations getting worse by outside pressures rather than government making them worse.
Then, hopefully, someone will have the balls to admit taxes collected are not enough, across the board, and will raise them. Also reform the benefits system. Simple economics. There is more going out than coming in.
The burning question is how long, after Labour win, will it be until the current bunch of naysayers stop saying "It's not Labour's fault they can't do this, or can't do that"?
