After 14 years of Conservative rule, the UK has seen a significant shift in power with a surge in support for Labour. However, it’s still early days, but already some of the same issues of incompetence that plagued the previous government are still present.

What’s your take on the current situation, and what are your hopes for the future of the country?

Apologies if this is the wrong community to post this. Not trying to be divisive but constructive.

    I’m not there actually was a big surge towards Labour, Reform split the Tory vote.

    My general feeling though is that, so far, there doesn’t seem to be any ridiculous scandals or corruption like there was before.

    There’s always going to be criticism no matter who’s in power, but at the moment they seem ok. Not exactly filling me with any promise of things to get better, but there’s no feeling of doom like there has been either.

    I hope for electoral reform. For me, it’s why I don’t vote Labour because they’ll never be in favour of it.

    But other than that I hope for the cost of living to improve. Good quality housing to be more affordable and available. Utility and transport companies brought back into public ownership. A much more progressive drug policy and hopefully some kind of plan for returning to the EU. An education system where teachers aren’t burning out and more schools to reduce classroom sizes.

    Honestly I’m not really sure what Labours vision is. Maybe that’s a me problem but with other parties you do kind of get a feel for what they’re true aims are.
