To wonder if people prefer the last government to this one?

i think the previous government were far worse than this one.

This one is having to deal with the shit show that the last ones left but executing it pretty poorly.

@malificent7 wondering if you live near me. All it takes is an accident on the only road not being mended and you have to drive miles as a diversion!

The Tories absolutely did give us Brexit. Cameron chose to hold a stupid referendum in a failed attempt to get his own party in order. May and Johnson between them then led us into the hard version of Brexit that we eventually ended up with, which has done untold damage to our economy. And no, Brexit isn't "history" - it is very much reflected in our present woes. We can't change the past, but the fuckers responsible should at the very least be held accountable.

The tories gave us Boris - who made us lock down and lied to us as he didn't follow it, nor did he ensure those who worked for him followed it. I will never forgive or forget that. Even when it all came out the Tories still supported him. I can never trust a party that supports lies.

Road repairs are nothing to do with central government.

In answer to your question, yes. I thought at the time of the election that it was time for a change but this lot are an absolute shambles. I didn’t vote for them but wasn’t sorry that they won at the time. Now I would love to have the last lot back.

The last government did not give us Brexit. There was a referendum and the British people voted for, and by a small margin, gave us Brexit. Brexit is history and if anyone thinks we would be better off had we stayed in Europe just look at the economic state of France, Germany and many other members of federal Europe.

The Conservatives did not deserve to remain in power at the last election but Labour have reverted to type and are gravely and grossly mismanaging the economy. The NI increase, particularly the lowering of the threshold to £5k, has plugged growth and resulted in job losses.

Where we are now was inevitable. I have never voted Labour and never shall because I am old enough to remember the 1970s shit show. Neither shall I ever vote Reform.

It may be helpful if the Liberals could possibly spare some thought for policy and strategy and share it with us. Ed Davey is a genuinely nice man and has worked tirelessly in his constituency but he shows no sign of leading the Libs into government.

Personally, I'm not keen on Kemi but presently she's the best bet.

At the moment yes.

Wow , all of them? What magical area is this? Is it not inconvenient having works on all the roads in the whole area at the same time?

Or can I sniff some serious hyperbole on the wind?

To be fair, potholes are a local council responsibility - not national government.

Definitely not worse than the tories, people seem to think the massive problems can just be magically resolved overnight. Farage is promising this by encouraging racism and division. Labour is far from perfect and lacks conviction in some areas but they have inherited a shit show.

Yes I prefer the last government

Labour are worse than hopeless, and I regret voting for them.

And now there seems to be some sort of internal coup going on, so that they can oust Starmer and Reeves.

So, it’ll be the Tories Part Two, by another name. 🙄

What roads, and where? 🤷‍♀️

The current government is a shit show.

But the Tories were an even shittier show, and Reform would be a fucking sewer.

I've heard a lot of people saying that they might vote Reform because "things can't get any worse". Er, yes they can... and will if people are stupid enough to elect them.

I will be voting for the least worst option at the next election, and for whichever party is most likely to keep Reform out.
