What are you most looking forward to if Labour win?

[Georgieporgypud]

Presuming theyre going to win the election, what manifesto promises are you hopeful about?

For me it's going to be their promise to fast track rape trials, providing proper support to rape victims and targeted support within the police for victims of domestic violence.

Let's hope they make it happen.

What, that all Tory politicians are self-serving and only in it to make their friends richer? And they hate the poor?
Seems strange from a Conservative focus group

In Wales 9% more is spent on health than in England. (Labour party figure)

In March 2024 there were 0.5 pathways (per 100 population) where a patient was waiting more than 52 weeks for treatment in England, and 4.5 in Wales. (ON$)

Exactly

Relief from the endless he said she said crap of the last 8 weeks.
Hope that there will be a bit civility regardless of who is voted in.

The return of freedom, sanity and tolerance and love, of diversity and community. While North West Europe shifts hard right, we will be a beacon of light in the dark. Labour will win by a landslide and be endorsed by the mass majority of the country, who want all these things. We will return to the EU and help steer it to a better direction away from the reactionaries of France and Germany. The NHS will once again be fit for purpose, and trans folk will be able to live their lives without fear of hate and judgement.

I feel so positive right now I can simply burst.

You can read it on Conservative Home like I did. The truth hurts

I think we'll only get that if we elect a Lib Dem Opposition.

Yes the Tories coming third would be excellent. Maybe some self reflection will occur

@Champagnesocialismo

Are you serious or being sarcastic? I can't tell.

Having a government that doesn't waste its energy on fighting amongst itself, it's like watching a load of toddlers pushing and shoving each other. Just want some stability tbh

Would you mind sending me the link please?

We can only hope now can't we?

And VOTE.

(Your comment regarding @Leah5678 neighbour's business model under the Tories just made me absolutely ROAR with laughter. Bravo. )

Wait and see. I’m sure they’ll show you if you give them time. They have during previous governments.

Some of us have longer memories than that.

Aw, come on, at least give us a clue...? You can't be all mysterious and doom laden without telling us what we need to be worried about. What's going to get worse?

You're one of the 'wooooo, they were terrible in the 70s and they're going to be just like that all over again' because [no evidence, just feelz]' brigade, aren't you?

here you are. Not flattering. And tbh Labour would not have the lead they do without this perception that the Tory Party are s bunch of pirates. This genteel party of the shires has disappeared, replaced by a group of well spoken muggers.

Yes. We should base our decision making on what happened 50 years ago. That sounds sane and taking in the current state of affairs

Like NHS England, Wales are facing the same issues with underfunding, lack of resources including beds. There are a lot of reasons for more/less demand. How many hospitals there are, local population vs capacity, social care, average age of the population and of course poverty.

Can we make direct comparisons between the NHS in England and Wales? | NHS Confederation

We have 4 devolved healthcare's which all have different strategies also so the way one reports something isn't the same as the other.

A real investigation into how school classes function with such a range of abilities together. Not ideology driven.
One of my friends had a hell of a time because he knew he never did quite understand things. He was always trying to catch-up.
He faced failure every day. Does it have to be like that?

I do hope people won't be disappointed if there's a change of Government.

I've been a civil servant for nearly 25 years and they all have more in common with each other than they do normal people.

I've worked for some really good Ministers and secretaries of state from all 3 parties (ie during coalition) plus had some terrible ones again from all three parties. Most of them come into politics for the right reasons but they absolutely aren't like normal regular people.

Well to be fair, the group is not exactly flattering about Labour either, are they? It sounds like a MN thread!
