What issues do you want to discuss? Because the issue may be that you are misdiagnosing the problem and hence unable to solve it. Just blaming everything on the government in 2022 may be as futile as just blaming everything on god in 1022. The root causes may well lie elsewhere, at least in some cases. Or fixing problem A may make problem B worse.
  • Child poverty increasing
  • Working poverty increasing
  • House prices becoming unaffordable to young people
  • 40 years of stagnant wages
  • Huge amounts of corruption in our current government, including passing contracts to mates during covid
  • Fire and rehire e.g. P & O (notice other nations didn't have staff sacked)
  • Brexit and the serious negative effect that's had on businesses that import/export (this contributes to inflation whether you like it or not)
  • The NHS running on fumes and increased privatisation (which no, doesn't make it more efficient)
  • Appalling death rates and one of the worst performing developed nations economically when it comes to Covid
  • One of the worst pensions in the developed world
  • Billionaire controlled right wing media, our newspapers are owned by what? 4 people? These papers have convinced half the British population that the biggest threat to it is wokeness, immigrants and those on benefits rather than the mega wealthy.
  • Spiralling wealth inequality
  • Huge increases in electric and has bills (this should have been solved decades ago)


You may say well these are worldwide issues (which have been made far worse by our current government) but the basic cause is 40 years of neoliberalism across the West that has screwed the average person but somehow you get braindead morons who views the status quo and somehow thinks 'this is ok'.

I look forward to you diverting from my points or just point blank telling me they aren't issues or that I'm making them up.
