I was expecting a lot worse
I don't know if it's true but I'm choosing to believe that it's the influence of the Lib Dems that stopped them doing their typical scorched earth policy.

Still, the health and education systems are going to be properly fucked in a few years, so from that point of view it's business as usual.

labour screwed the health system by pumping in money without significantly increasing results
consequently leaving a system that has evoled to fill those budgets regardless of their worth. Any subsequent governemnt is going to be screwed trying to reign in the extra spending.

Labour bought votes with debt.

Oh bullshit
Labour brought waiting lists down from years to just a few months. No system will ever increase in direct correlation to the amount of money put into it so your argument in that respect is rubbish.

The health service had massive underinvestment prior to Labour getting in, they weren't perfect in many things, but the improvements in the health service under their term is one thing they ought to have really made a big noise about.

My current waiting time is 15 months...
non-life threatening but still.
