I read today that Liz Truss has said she will be running on her record ... This election will be won and lost on a) cost of living b) the dreadful state of our public services, especially the NHS but not excluding the water companies, the education system, the justice system, our eroded armed forces in a time of war and heightened global tensions, decimated local authority funding etc etc c) immigration, thanks in part to the obsessive focus on it by the right wing media d) the dreadful state of our national finances thanks to the huge increase in both debt and debt servicing costs (part of her record that Liz Truss may choose not to focus on) e) the dreadful state of our democracy with the backfiring voter ID rules (they exclude as many Tory voters as others), the declining quality of our elected representatives, the long overdue overhaul of our voting system - FPTP is antiquated and results in the parliament constantly failing to reflect actual voting preferences. Minority parties get squeezed out unless they get a concentration of support in a single constituency - see Scotland's system for a fairer way. We also need further and real devolution thanks to successive governments accumulating power at the centre. So much for the next government to tackle, so much left untackled by the current one! |
