sigh will any government or prospective government say that they’ll pay down the national debt as a policy pledge and actually stick to it? I don’t particularly want tax cuts, I want shit to actually work in this country.
Speaking from Canada here, based on what I’ve seen from our politicians I’m not sure you would want follow through on that… both Liberal (centre-left) and Conservative parties have done stints to “balance the budget” which simply involve selling off wholesale a major public asset (a toll road, our electric company to name a couple).
I’m aware a lot of the big stuff was already sold off over the last 40 years, but still many a politician and investor are licking their lips for a slice of the NHS…
