Aren't all of those political problems caused by lack of civic engagement and general understanding of the population putting politicians into power?
It's not a real problem so much as an artificial one.
- bluescrn 3y agoWe have a two-party system, and neither have real plans to solve these problems, beyond maybe raising taxes/reprioritising spending a bit to slow the decline of the NHS. The increasingly ridiculous cost of housing is at the core of the UKs problems, but nobody in power even wants to solve that, as so many wealthy people, politicians included, are making so much money out of property. And solving the transport problem is deeply 'uncool' for environmental reasons. Roads are obviously seen as bad, but even attempts to build railways will be heavily protested. Meanwhile they won't even decriminalise electric scooters.
