Does anyone more well versed in politics than me want to share what they think is a party’s best suggested policy, worst suggested policy, biggest distortion of fact, and a policy you wish they’d implement from another party.

Here’s a good one. I’m not a Green voter, by the way.

This is a great suggestion for a thread! To stick with the positive:

I think the Green's policy for a kind of triple lock for renters to eliminate sudden, unpredictable rent spikes is good and interesting. I think Labour's policy of lifting the ban on the public water ownership, so that water companies can be brought back into public control is excellent (and long overdue). I think the Conservatives are right to propose cutting N.I contrbutions for employing young people, to get more young people back into work. I think the Lib Dems have strong policy ideas on youth mental health - especially ending the abrupt transition where young people are suddenly cut off from youth mental health services the moment they turn 18.
