    It’s easy to agree with them, none of their proposals have to be tempered by the reality of being possibly implemented. They can promise the world and they know it’s fine because they’ll never have to deliver same with Reform, but just left-wing rather than right.

    I would like to see their policies have some kind of relationship with practical reality. That includes the realization that sometimes you need to build nuclear power stations, sometimes trees need to be cut down for infrastructure projects, and occasionally you have to do things people don’t like.

    For example we need more housing, that’s going to cut into the environment and will necessitate building on old green belt land. They can’t just be against it, that’s not a practical response so I’d like to see a nuanced understanding of the topic rather than a blanket “no more building”
