As usual Rich you have politicised a thread that was not political.
You have chosen a thread that covers personal tragedy to spout
political rhetoric.
You support a political party that in the last 6 years has skillfully
managed the economy by spending much more to deliver much less. This
is not just in Health. Take a look at Health spending over the last 6
years and then take a look at performance (hint: every metric has got
worse). Don't bother rolling out that old Covid rhetoric again
because the same trends would have occurred without that. Labour had
an absolute majority in Parliament for 3 years and was too consumed
with new co-governance structures (itself an unannounced policy) to
use that majority wisely. Your credibility in criticising National on
a scale of 1-10 is zero.
When you acknowledge the total failure of the last 3 years, and the
partial failure of the previous 3 years, I might - just might - begin
to take your political rhetoric seriously.
Because I know what your likely response is, I do not support current
National economic policies. Now is not the time to reduce the tax
revenue and reduced Government spending should be specifically
targeted at those government departments where bloat is most apparent
rather than an across-the-board reduction. Because of the damage done
by Labour to our Health system, carefully-targeted increased spending
would be OK.
