Quote: Mild Rover "I haven’t and I’m not saying it is easy. However, my guess is that more people suffer more often on local lines doing daily commutes - and it could be improved relatively cheaply. I’m taking inspiration from a Dispatches on Channel 4 from a few weeks ago. Fair though
We’re off.
For the NHS, moving away from comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery is a hard sell to snowflakes - and the wider public, I reckon. There’s always been a bit of wriggle around ‘comprehensive’ and even ‘free’. However, initially it looks like a right wing policy for the right wing choir. Happy to hear more if I’ve missed your point.
Your second point is more interesting to me. Are you imagining a looser federation or commonwealth of nations rather than the current Union? How much autonomy would the individual countries have? How would joint decisions be made? I’d suggest [ireplacing[/i the Lords, but yeah - constitutional reform works.'"
On the NHS - clinical/pharma excellence/progression is moving faster than the funds to support it - can we still expect the NHS to keep delivering as it is? Do we spend millions on cancer treatments for one person or millions doing cataracts for thousands of people etc.
On the second point - yes I am interested in a more Federal approach - were local issues are dealt with locally and Macro issues such as Fiscal policy is dealt with centrally
