>> UK has a political crisis, based on an identity crisis, for which there is no foreseeable solution on the horizon. We had Tory govts from 1979 to 1997. Current situation feels similar, we're just desperate for change as a nation. Younger folks don't even remember a non-Tory govt. Labour are polling ~50% vs Tory ~26% which is unprecedented in modern times. I happen to think "New Labour" did OK. E.g. 2010 saw highest ever NHS satisfaction levels, and waiting lists were nothing compared to now. I would at least give Labour a chance to turn things round before deeming it all unfixable. I have reservations, but my God they have to be better than these current scoundrels :-( Finally - I do believe the Brexit house of cards is collapsing. Room for manoeuvre is appearing.
