Thinking about the various ways the infrastructure of this country is broken, I’m wondering does anything work in this country?
Railways? Buses? Health service?Social care ? police? immigration? education ? mental health ? housing?
or are we just wallowing in the shit on our beaches? Even food banks are struggling.
Not a good look.

The tragedy is that there are thousands of other homes that are not fit to live in

Grany can I ask you something? Why are you still in the Labour Party?

Granny isn't really. Such people are in a small clique. Roll on PR. Then, by supporting the far left, such voters will be able to have the small minority of MPs that actually represent those who would vote for such politics. They may vote with the Labour Party occasionally but will spend much of their time spitting venom at the left of centre voter allowing the right to get away with far too much - just as they do now.

With PR it's possible that there will be a number of small parties but at least a consensus can be reached. Under the current system that is impossible. People keep forgetting that although the govt gained a majority of 80 seats, the number of actual votes was less than the combined opposition parties, as has been the case for most of the last century and this one.
