How many Tory PMs in 2023, we had three last year.

The NHS in ruins while Sunak spends lavishly on No.10 as though anyone voted him there.

Now below 20% in the polls.

Blimey

Me and the Mrs came to this conclusion last week. Really don't want an elected body so need to find another way. Albeit Germany seems to manage.

Hereditary peers are definitely not the way. They do all they can to prevent change in areas such as land reform, where change is so desperately needed, inheritance rights and offshore tax havens (see the whole of Scotland for a good example). They are simply a means to perpetuate their families' advantages and are so far from being representative that it's laughable. We are supposed to be a democracy:

a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.

So Labour would have handled the pandemic differently?
Borrowed less?

Would they have sorted out the refugee crisis?
Would they have magically fixed global inflation or stopped the Ukraine invasion.
Could they avoid caving in to unions with Marxist leaders and prevent their ridiculous wage demands adding to inflation?
Could they'fix' the NHS?

NO.

They would have been bleedin' useless like they always are.

I guess we have to go through the usual cycle whereby people too young to remember the last time they were in get a chance to see how pathetic they are.

So on Xmas day there was an incident at home where by I hurt my hand. It swelled up and on 27th I took myself to Maidstone hospital A+E.
Long story short within 2 hours I had 2 visits to X-ray , 2 doctor chats about a fractured finger, finger splints applied and a full hand support, advice about the fracture etc. I parked at 11.30 and at 13.32 I payed for my parking. Then 3 hours later at home I had a call from the fracture clinic with more advice.
Now forgive me for giving it a 10/10 but I reckon this could be the rule even now. It’s just that good service doesn’t command the bashing for the nhs and hmg.
Wasn’t it corbyn who engineered a busy train for a photo opportunity and a bashing up hmg moment.
You then wonder why labour are questioned as a party who could get close to sorting it out!

I always ask this with these type of hypotheticals; how could the last few years have gone much worse in terms of government performance? How bad is the made-up alternative to make this current government's performance anything close to acceptable?

We live in a country where next to no public service functions as it should; people are dying waiting for ambulances, no one can get a GP appointment, no one can afford a house, no one can afford food or energy, transport is a disaster, education a disaster, trade is a disaster, economy is f*cked.

And we're still here flapping about a hypothetical Labour government and how they're sure to be worse.
