I'll be honest I've never been more cynical of either of the two major parties likely to form a UK government,I'm 71 and I can't see the country ever,in my lifetime,getting back on it's feet and being a truly democratic country that cares for poorest and makes the rich pay their fair share.
Lierally the fabric of society is crumbling about us as the rich get ever richer and the poorest of trampled on,it truly is depessing.
In 1945 the country was devastated and in debt, with many remaining slums.
We built a revolutionary health service which we still treasure, and 2.5m Council houses to decent standards, many of which were sold off cheap by a succeeding administration. They are often now exploited for private profit.
Since then our productivity has grown and we have a living standard (for many) which was undreamed of in the forties. Some of that should be used to build a better, fairer country.
It will take political will and public spirit. Have we still got that?
