    5: The problem of short/medium term cost minimisation in UK politics

    There is a choice: deal with an instance of a problem or fix the dynamics which are causing the instance to occur. It's always cheaper in the short term to do the former, but almost never cheaper in the long run. This government doesn't think long term, it doesn't make the investments required to solve the dynamics that cause problems. I argue that this is a bad decision. UK Politics BlaBlaBla.

    2: The UK government did not treat the population like adults during COVID, and it should have

    We were under-informed about coronavirus. This cost lives and left people shocked by the realities of the condition and unprepared to deal with it. A good government should respect the ability of its population to understand complex issues. UK politics blablabla.
