Well given the Tories have been engaged in a decade long process of self-mutilation by going through four PMs in a row while enjoying a majority, someone was bound to show up to pick up the disaffected voters on the fringes.
Has anyone ever wasted such a big majority before? I remember after the election it was generally believed it would take Labour at least 10 years to recover. It's amazing that the tories used their majority so badly
Seriously, it's the bulk sides, the love handles, if you will. Many, many life-long Tory voters are fuming right now. There is no conservative party in the UK apart from Reform UK. All we got is high taxes, more welfare culture and mass immigration that is set to make the true British a minority on their own island eventually.@@andylewis7360
Seems a little similar to what happened to Canada’s conservatives in the 1990s. They faced a MASSIVE (178 seats down to 2 seats) defeat in parliament. The Bloc Québécois formed official opposition and the « Reform Party of Canada » came in third .
In the UK Labour will likely win a 1997 style landslide and the Liberal Democrats could go back to around their 2005 levels and form the official opposition.
I’m very familiar. Kim Campbell’s Progressive Conservative Party were annihilated in spectacular electoral fashion and eclipsed by the Reform Party of Canada. Bloc Québécois was also a newly founded party and like you say, their party leader became Leader of the Opposition. This was bizarre for a nationalist party that stood candidates only in Quebec. It’d be like the SNP leading the opposition in the United Kingdom. The Reform Party of Canada would be succeeded by the Canadian Conservative-Reform Alliance and this political party would still beat the Progressive Conservative Party at the polls. However, these two parties were splitting the conservative voting base and eventually they agreed to merge thus the Conservative Party of Canada was founded.

I think you missed out on their immigration focus. Although they aren't explicit about how they will achieve it immigration is clearly the hill they would die on and the main source of their support.
It is the main source of our issues. A lot of vacancies that the gov has been trying fill with mass immigration is quite literally sourced from the mass immigration itself. We’re not getting the doctors or engineers we’re getting dependants, meaning that for every NHS job that needs filled and is filled by an immigrant, they bring their whole families (who create more pressure on schools the NHS and other public services). Additionally, house prices haven’t been this bad as compared to the average wage since 1876, you must be choosing ignorance to think that not building anymore housing and then importing 10 million people within a decade wouldn’t drive up house prices and that’s just an add on from 2008.

I would have thought that the main difference is that Reform UK is not a party. It's a private pressure group owned by Richard Tice. It has supporters, not members. That is to say, people who financially contribute to it without having any say in its policies or the way it is run.

We need to vote REFORM UK it is existential and I give my reasons. Dr D Howard, former fellow of University of Oxford and later former fellow of the UK Defence Research Agency.
The problem with comparing Reform UK to Canadian Reform is that Canadian reform had a core regionalized base with a huge seat count (Western Canada), even after years they still failed to win many seats west of Manitoba. Reform Uk could cost the Tories many seats and even win a few constituencies. But if their vote spread isn't concentrated enough, they could do well but still not win many seats. (As seen with UKIP in 2015.) There are other factors. The LibDems are arguably in a stronger position then the NDP was in 1993-2000. The SNP isn't as strong as the Bloc was in 1993 either. But I could see an Ontario 1993-2000 situation where Labour sweeps England while the Tories and Reform win only some constituencies. Scotland and Wales would be more complicated to determine, while Northern Ireland would practically be having their own separate election that could barely factor into parliament depending on how well SF does. Eventually I think Reform falls apart in an election cycle or two as the Conservatives regroup and get away from government for long enough that people forget why they even voted for Reform in the first place.
So they want to reform everything, but with actually having any solid ideas as to what they’d reform then into. Kind of like brexit. Make the change and they hope you can work out what that change is afterwards
2:52 I've already seen that bus, just with other writings on there... The promises back then were not kept, why should I believe them now? What's so different?
The people who commissioned that bus were not the government, they were a group campaigning to leave the EU. The Tory government were completely split on the issue if you remember. Therefore the statement written on the bus wasn't a promise, it was a suggestion. They literally did not have the authority to promise government policy. I don't know why people believed it was a promise and still insist it was to this day.
@@harambae7014 It's because Remoaners are so desperate to discredit Brexit that they seize on any scrap of information to bolster their flimsy case against it.
4:25 Wow what a revolutionary idea. Make the smaller private healthcare industry fabulously wealthy through taxing the people and removing any form of buyer pricing. You'd be raking it in more than US private healthcare with this scheme. It's also not solving the waiting lists because they're simply far too small. 2019 11.2% of UK healthcare was privately provided. And they obviously don't have massive amounts of people just sitting on their asses doing nothing in private care. I don't want to pull numbers out my ass but it's easier to understand my argument this way. Imagine they have people working 50%(!) of time they could be working. So the average employed private healthcare doctor only takes half-days _relative to NHS doctors_ because they don't have enough sick people coming to them. Then the total private portion of the UK Healthcare system could amount to (11.2*(1/50%)) 22.4%, double capacity with the suggested 100% subsidy. It's not a solution even when the case is just absolutely ludicrous like that. If private healthcare is more busy than that the increased capacity quickly decreases to near zero (75% current active time -> 2.8% capacity increase or private healthcare making up 14% total healthcare). It also relies on the only inefficiency in private healthcare providers being this assumed lack of patients. Very unlikely considering the waiting lists and private healthcares profit motive providing a lot of pressure on it to not idle doctors. How do people fall for this crap?
I think their long-term strategy here ( if they have one) is to keep expanding the private healthcare service while making the NHS even more defunct, so that eventually you get a US-style healthcare.
I think it's more a case of "this is where we are, the NHS has been gutted (starting under Blair if not before with all the 'public private partnerships' he instigated that burdened it with so much debt / interest repayment) isn't getting things done on time, people need treatment now not in six months so how do we make that happen". Leaving us with an immediate situation that needs handling any which way you can. I would hope that further investment in and restructuring of the NHS* to get the NHS back up to spec and on track would put an end to the need for any substantial outspending to the private healthcare industry to take up the slack within 5-10 years. * to get rid of extraneous management layers that add no value to the end 'product' and service provision of the NHS .. like all of the EID managers and staff we never had before (it functioned fine before without them, it can again) that unnecessarily swallow so much NHS money.
They don't believe it, I bet you 80-90% of their voters have no idea about this policy. They are buggered come election time when it faces scrutiny. Could be a distraction maybe? Get the press worked up about that, when they know there own voters don't care about that policy only "getting rid of Johnny Foreigner" - Although they don't have any idea how to do that either without authoritarianism and breaking international law.
The more research I do about Reform the more I seem to want to vote for them, coming from a pro labour person, if things continue this way reform will have my vote for the next few elections

That NHS vouchers solution to long waiting lists in the NHS is beyond boneheaded. Private Health care providers are more expensive and have absolutely no requirement to bill fairly especially when they know that the government is footing the bill. Therefore this extra cost must either be added to the amount allocated to the NHS or removed from it's current budget. Clearly this can't work as a long-term solution without either further eroding the NHS or simply throwing money at the problem in the most inefficient way imaginable! A far better and more efficient solution would be simply to better fund the NHS, set measures in place to ensure the wellbeing of NHS workers while giving tax breaks to the most essential NHS workers, thereby making working for the NHS a more viable and attractive solution. Simultaneously management needs to be assessed on how able they are to ensure that their district are providing a quality service based on cost and feedback from patients and staff.
It's an idea which seems to work well in practice, both here and abroad. I've had various NHS treatments at private facilities. The NHS has the power to negotiate very reasonable prices. And they don't have to shoulder all the initial investment and risk of building the facilities. It's far preferable to the government contracting out health services. Which is massively open to cronyism and corruption. I don't think a voucher system should replace NHS facilities. But it seems like an entirely sensible way of supplementing them.
Semi privatised healthcare is literally the norm in Western Europe and places like Japan. Only the UK makes a big fuss out of it cos "MeRiCA" as if the US style healthcare is the only option we have other than the NHS. Do you understand why the NHS is getting more difficult to fund? Aging population maybe??? Also the NHS is very inefficient due to lack of innovation. Personnel isn't an issue per se. The NHS is one of the biggest employers in Western Europe with some of the most well paid. Many other countries actually attempt to use the capacity offered in private hospitals when the capacity is full but because we Brits have this binary "public good, private bad" mentality, that's what's also contributing to the very long waiting lists we have.
@@andybrice2711 The scale of the problem (nearly 8 million people on NHS waiting lists, 50% seen in 12 hours and a 90% bed occupancy in hospitals) isn't merely one of supplementation, this is bordering on replacement. At the small scale bargaining power is greater due to simple supply and demand but we're no longer talking about the small scale here and as such the supply/demand equation starts to swing the other way. If we had money to burn and were able to cut down waiting lists by accessing Private health services while also renovating the NHS then I'd be inclined to agree, but this proposal isn't a solution, it's at best a sticking plaster on a very deep wound. The sheer cost involved in alleviating a problem of this scale while simultaneously claiming to reduce public spending means that it's almost a foregone conclusion that this will actually further damage the NHS due to essential problems being ignored and likely lead to it's being dismantled.
@@andybrice2711 It isn't a solution though. If you think of it, UK has a large aging population, meaning the facilities should be built to accommodate it. Or do you want the private company build it, let the government pay for it over it + few billions extra to shareholders? NHS will not cope, unless it is expanded due to elderly people - those elderly will coming for decades. Do you think decades of voucher system is financially feasible?
@@inbb510 "Brits have this binary "public good, private bad" mentality, that's what's also contributing to the very long waiting lists we have." So nothing to do with a history of being chronically underfunded then? "NHS is very inefficient due to lack of innovation."!? If anything consecutive new regimes with conflicting 'innovative' approaches are part of the problem and a leading cause of inefficiency as providers are forced to adopt, scrap and change entire systems! Also at this point let's just admit the Straw-man in the room. We're not talking about a root and branch restructuring of the entire health system toward an integrated private/public system but rather a stop-gap diversion of funds towards the private sector, likely to the detriment of the public. The point being that the claim of "we'll just pay them to go private" doesn't gel with the "We'll tax you less" promise. Now let's examine the "other countries operate as a combined private / public" claim to see if we're comparing apples with apples and whether these are systems that display significantly greater efficiency or whether they just cost more. Currently the No.1 health care system globally is Singapore which operates a combined private/public system. This is paid for by an enforced saving program termed 'Medisave' which takes between 7 - 9.5% of earnings (a de-facto tax) 'Medishield' a national insurance program and 'Medifund' a 3 Billion reserve (of public money) that helps support the system. While it is undoubtedly providing a better outcome than the UK it is also a significantly more costly one for the individual. The No.1 European health care system is Norway but I was unable to find any in-depth data on it other than that it incurs a per-capita cost of $6,072 as compared to the UK's $4,725 (no.10 overall). That's a 28% higher level of funding. However, the No.2 European health care system is the Netherlands' with a per-capita cost of $6,128. This is partly funded by a statutory health insurance system (another de-facto tax) and has fully integrated the private and public sectors into a single system that is in effect public plus. So in conclusion. Firstly these are very different systems that place a higher portion of the cost on the individual. Secondly judging purely by the per-capita costs involved the NHS is clearly a more efficient service ranking as no.10 globally at only 2/3rds the cost. The per-capita cost of these higher performing systems average out at around 30% more than the UK which simply reinforces my assertion that the NHS isn't underperforming due to inefficiency, but rather due to a lack of funding.

To be honest I would imagine most Reform voters would turn out to be working class, maybe equal to the number of middle class Labour voters, as Labour doesn't represent the white working class anymore. Maybe all parties need to start listening until a true right wing party appears on the political horizon.
Traditionalists in the age of information, of social media, or AI is called being reactionary. Reactionary politics are far right politics. Maybe you don't like the term but from what you describe you fit the bill. Quite funny that you don't like the term aswell, because it proves deep down you know that it is morally wrong, but yet you still find ways of justifying it to yourself. I consider myself a patriot for instance, but patriotism has f-all with hating migrants, our multicultural society makes me feel proud to be British. I'd say the idea that foreigners come over and destroy our culture is anti-British. The EU is not going to change British culture, the Americans have given it a good go, but here we are, still as British as ever. Also "as Labour doesn't represent the white working class anymore" - Why do you lot obsess over bringing race into everything? You also think Labour need to listen until they become a true right wing party? You are barmy mate, absolutely gone.
Im patriotic, and I hate reform. They will not fix the country, only cut taxes and increase spending, something that really doesn’t work. Labour will actually do “patriotic” things, like funding the military, making bank of nationalising transport systems, increasing employment by opening factories for munitions etc.
@@FreeRojava2025 I'm 110% behind arming and supporting Ukraine, especially given the recent lack of support from the US (hopefully that will change soon) but the UK seriously does not need increased military spending. We are in a cost of living crisis, mental health crisis, NHS waiting lists through the roof. Dealing with those issues and the massive black hole of legalised corruption in the British economy is more important, more pressing patriotic issue than increased funding for the military. That doesn't mean the UK should stop giving Ukraine arms and support though.
They're pushing an incredible amount of propaganda on the short video formats like TikTok.

Conservatism refers to being cautious and careful in your actions, and rejecting rapid change. Attempting to halt immigration trends overnight, cut government spending by orders of magnitude and directly interfere with primary and secondary school curricula are all very radical policies. They are not conservative policies, they are reactionary - aiming to reverse current trends through radical change.
Social conservatism champions the same views as it did in the fifties, in respect to religion & demographics, the main issues for people who call themselves socially conservative, is inflexible and fringe.
@@ZakGriffiths-zq9lj Regardless of what words people choose to use, if we have a party that is constantly trying to change the status quo and push it further to the left (the Labour Party) and a party that is only trying to maintain the status quo (the Conservative Party), the Overton window will only ever shift to the left. This is the major problem with current British politics. And if this is the case, you have to concede that the Conservative Party doesn’t hold any real fundamental values.
@@baileyharrison1030 I agree that the conservative party does not hold any fundamental values, except that of gradual change. That is what it is to be a conservative: to move with the times, only slowly and cautiously. I also agree that this means the overton window moves left as a general rule. This is because the left and right are defined in terms of their relationship to hierarchy - the left opposing existing hierarchies and the right supporting them. Democracies with a full electoral franchise, by their nature, ought to trend towards a more egalitarian stance as people vote for their interests (which, for the majority, is equality). Further, the political culture, at least in the west, since the French Revolution just seems to prefer the left. Equality is an attractive idea I suppose. Therefore, you’re right, there is no major political party with a platform of actively rolling back progress and changing the status quo to recreate abolished hierarchies. The reason there isn’t is because, post-WW2, there was general agreement in the West that trying to do so was immensely dangerous. That consensus seems to have broken down to some extent, as evidenced by the rise of reactionary parties across europe. So you’re right, the reform party is the only party offering a genuine option of undoing social progress and moving society backwards. That is exactly why I think you shouldn’t vote for them
@xelthiavice4276 If you want to not have millions of immigrants over a 5 year period you need policies to massively increase the number of children born in the UK, or else you'll have a demographic crisis VERY quickly.

Providing a voucher for private service to people can't get NHS care in a timely manner is actually not a bad idea. I mean, it's only a band-aid for the NHS' problems, a first step towards privatization, and probably very costly, but in the short term I think it would be a very effective band-aid for people in need of care.

The thing is they will never have to face the music with any of there policies. Cut NHS waiting time to zero sounds good, but how? Are they going to give more funding? No they said they want to cut spending, and the voucher for private healthcare is money from the NHS to a 3rd party, meaning the NHS will still have the same if not higher cost. So they can sit there yelling get good, keeping themselves in the news cycle and getting paid to appear of GB news, but never having to implement any policy.
Their plan to cut wait times to zero, by handing out private credits. Is genuinely the most moronic thing I've fucking heard as a policy. It'll cost the government vastly more, while fixing very little. If they want a radical reform proposal, I'd go with tearing up the PFI contracts labour started and Tories continued. They're what's really fucked the NHS.

There's growing frustration among people in the UK, including here in Wales. Our street lights shut off at 11:30 PM, and we're already dealing with a 20 mph speed limit. Now, there's talk of implementing a council emissions tax. This means you could face charges for driving into another council area based on your vehicle's emissions. It's simply absurd.
Reform is like doubling down on Brexit, despite the fact it's clearly not benefited anyone in this country and has cost hundreds of billions of economic output.

So they are populist. And that makes them bad? This is something I just do not understand and I welcome anyone to make it make sense to me.

For now, as abhorrent as some of Reform UK's policies are to me, I think they're good for politics in this country. Short-term, the right-wing of politics has been split, which levels out the playing field and allows parties to have more nuanced policies. And long-term, having a party that's pro-proportional voting is a good thing, regardless of whether the Tories recover or if Reform UK rise up to take their place at the primary right-wing party
I class myself as far left, but I somehow find myself more aligned with reforms policies than anyone else’s. We desperately need radical change. The current political system obviously isn’t working for the majority. And at least reform actually has policy ideas unlike our only two other alternatives! We’re in a dangerous position when a far right party is looking like the only viable option for drastic change.
Change for the sake of change is meaningless. Socrates hated democracy for this precise reason because people prefer electing sweet shop owners who will promise them all the tasty pleasures at the expense of their long term health (i.e. those who tell them everything they want to hear and ultimately can't deliver them as the problems in the developed world are more nuanced the populist slogans), than electing doctors where they will medically intervene, give you pain but for the good of the long term and restrict your diet telling one what they can't eat if they want good health (i.e. the mainstream parties who have been in government long enough to learn about the nuances of the problem and hence make unpopular but the right choices which would benefit the country in the long term).

Bloc Québécois was also a newly founded party and like you say, their party leader became Leader of the Opposition. This was bizarre for a nationalist party that stood candidates only in Quebec. It’d be like the SNP leading the opposition in the United Kingdom. The Reform Party of Canada would be succeeded by the Canadian Conservative-Reform Alliance and this political party would still beat the Progressive Conservative Party at the polls. However, these two parties were splitting the conservative voting base and eventually they agreed to merge thus the Conservative Party of Canada was founded.

Additionally, house prices haven’t been this bad as compared to the average wage since 1876, you must be choosing ignorance to think that not building anymore housing and then importing 10 million people within a decade wouldn’t drive up house prices and that’s just an add on from 2008.

How to win an outright majority in the UK:
-Pledge to lower net immigration with a Danish style policy
-Pledge to house young people prioritising those that are already married and have children
-Tax cuts for overtime
-Tax cuts for key start-up businesses in fields of green tech, weapons engineering, computer vision, robotics and AI.
-Tram networks in the North
-Federalisation.
-Change income tax bracket to tax free until the first £25000 and offset that with 1% increase in cooperation tax for "old" industries.
"Federalisation"😭😱😰🤮

Step 2 - "Massively increase immigration as soon as you have power"
@@incurableromantic4006 , the people on benefits will have to be willing to work if we do reduce immigration though. They need to want to be trained. If not then what you described will keep happening.

The problem with comparing Reform UK to Canadian Reform is that Canadian reform had a core regionalized base with a huge seat count (Western Canada), even after years they still failed to win many seats west of Manitoba. Reform Uk could cost the Tories many seats and even win a few constituencies.
But if their vote spread isn't concentrated enough, they could do well but still not win many seats. (As seen with UKIP in 2015.)
There are other factors. The LibDems are arguably in a stronger position then the NDP was in 1993-2000. The SNP isn't as strong as the Bloc was in 1993 either. But I could see an Ontario 1993-2000 situation where Labour sweeps England while the Tories and Reform win only some constituencies.
Scotland and Wales would be more complicated to determine, while Northern Ireland would practically be having their own separate election that could barely factor into parliament depending on how well SF does.
Eventually I think Reform falls apart in an election cycle or two as the Conservatives regroup and get away from government for long enough that people forget why they even voted for Reform in the first place.

Wow what a revolutionary idea. Make the smaller private healthcare industry fabulously wealthy through taxing the people and removing any form of buyer pricing. You'd be raking it in more than US private healthcare with this scheme.
It's also not solving the waiting lists because they're simply far too small.
2019 11.2% of UK healthcare was privately provided. And they obviously don't have massive amounts of people just sitting on their asses doing nothing in private care. I don't want to pull numbers out my ass but it's easier to understand my argument this way.
Imagine they have people working 50%(!) of time they could be working. So the average employed private healthcare doctor only takes half-days _relative to NHS doctors_ because they don't have enough sick people coming to them. Then the total private portion of the UK Healthcare system could amount to (11.2*(1/50%)) 22.4%, double capacity with the suggested 100% subsidy.
It's not a solution even when the case is just absolutely ludicrous like that. If private healthcare is more busy than that the increased capacity quickly decreases to near zero (75% current active time -> 2.8% capacity increase or private healthcare making up 14% total healthcare).
It also relies on the only inefficiency in private healthcare providers being this assumed lack of patients. Very unlikely considering the waiting lists and private healthcares profit motive providing a lot of pressure on it to not idle doctors.
How do people fall for this crap?
I think their long-term strategy here ( if they have one) is to keep expanding the private healthcare service while making the NHS even more defunct, so that eventually you get a US-style healthcare.
Well maffs is hard, innit?
@@CartoonDrama44Exactly. The plan is to turn it into US system and royally fuck anyone whose not rich.
I think it's more a case of "this is where we are, the NHS has been gutted (starting under Blair if not before with all the 'public private partnerships' he instigated that burdened it with so much debt / interest repayment) isn't getting things done on time, people need treatment now not in six months so how do we make that happen".
Leaving us with an immediate situation that needs handling any which way you can.
I would hope that further investment in and restructuring of the NHS* to get the NHS back up to spec and on track would put an end to the need for any substantial outspending to the private healthcare industry to take up the slack within 5-10 years.
* to get rid of extraneous management layers that add no value to the end 'product' and service provision of the NHS .. like all of the EID managers and staff we never had before (it functioned fine before without them, it can again) that unnecessarily swallow so much NHS money.
They don't believe it, I bet you 80-90% of their voters have no idea about this policy. They are buggered come election time when it faces scrutiny. Could be a distraction maybe? Get the press worked up about that, when they know there own voters don't care about that policy only "getting rid of Johnny Foreigner" - Although they don't have any idea how to do that either without authoritarianism and breaking international law.

That NHS vouchers solution to long waiting lists in the NHS is beyond boneheaded.
Private Health care providers are more expensive and have absolutely no requirement to bill fairly especially when they know that the government is footing the bill.
Therefore this extra cost must either be added to the amount allocated to the NHS or removed from it's current budget.
Clearly this can't work as a long-term solution without either further eroding the NHS or simply throwing money at the problem in the most inefficient way imaginable!
A far better and more efficient solution would be simply to better fund the NHS, set measures in place to ensure the wellbeing of NHS workers while giving tax breaks to the most essential NHS workers, thereby making working for the NHS a more viable and attractive solution.
Simultaneously management needs to be assessed on how able they are to ensure that their district are providing a quality service based on cost and feedback from patients and staff.
It's an idea which seems to work well in practice, both here and abroad. I've had various NHS treatments at private facilities. The NHS has the power to negotiate very reasonable prices. And they don't have to shoulder all the initial investment and risk of building the facilities.
It's far preferable to the government contracting out health services. Which is massively open to cronyism and corruption. I don't think a voucher system should replace NHS facilities. But it seems like an entirely sensible way of supplementing them.
Semi privatised healthcare is literally the norm in Western Europe and places like Japan.
Only the UK makes a big fuss out of it cos "MeRiCA" as if the US style healthcare is the only option we have other than the NHS.
Do you understand why the NHS is getting more difficult to fund? Aging population maybe???
Also the NHS is very inefficient due to lack of innovation. Personnel isn't an issue per se. The NHS is one of the biggest employers in Western Europe with some of the most well paid.
Many other countries actually attempt to use the capacity offered in private hospitals when the capacity is full but because we Brits have this binary "public good, private bad" mentality, that's what's also contributing to the very long waiting lists we have.
@@andybrice2711 The scale of the problem (nearly 8 million people on NHS waiting lists, 50% seen in 12 hours and a 90% bed occupancy in hospitals) isn't merely one of supplementation, this is bordering on replacement.
At the small scale bargaining power is greater due to simple supply and demand but we're no longer talking about the small scale here and as such the supply/demand equation starts to swing the other way.
If we had money to burn and were able to cut down waiting lists by accessing Private health services while also renovating the NHS then I'd be inclined to agree, but this proposal isn't a solution, it's at best a sticking plaster on a very deep wound.
The sheer cost involved in alleviating a problem of this scale while simultaneously claiming to reduce public spending means that it's almost a foregone conclusion that this will actually further damage the NHS due to essential problems being ignored and likely lead to it's being dismantled.
@@andybrice2711 It isn't a solution though. If you think of it, UK has a large aging population, meaning the facilities should be built to accommodate it. Or do you want the private company build it, let the government pay for it over it + few billions extra to shareholders? NHS will not cope, unless it is expanded due to elderly people - those elderly will coming for decades. Do you think decades of voucher system is financially feasible?
@@inbb510 "Brits have this binary "public good, private bad" mentality, that's what's also contributing to the very long waiting lists we have."
So nothing to do with a history of being chronically underfunded then?
"NHS is very inefficient due to lack of innovation."!?
If anything consecutive new regimes with conflicting 'innovative' approaches are part of the problem and a leading cause of inefficiency as providers are forced to adopt, scrap and change entire systems!
Also at this point let's just admit the Straw-man in the room.
We're not talking about a root and branch restructuring of the entire health system toward an integrated private/public system but rather a stop-gap diversion of funds towards the private sector, likely to the detriment of the public.
The point being that the claim of "we'll just pay them to go private" doesn't gel with the "We'll tax you less" promise.
Now let's examine the "other countries operate as a combined private / public" claim to see if we're comparing apples with apples and whether these are systems that display significantly greater efficiency or whether they just cost more.
Currently the No.1 health care system globally is Singapore which operates a combined private/public system.
This is paid for by an enforced saving program termed 'Medisave' which takes between 7 - 9.5% of earnings (a de-facto tax) 'Medishield' a national insurance program and 'Medifund' a 3 Billion reserve (of public money) that helps support the system.
While it is undoubtedly providing a better outcome than the UK it is also a significantly more costly one for the individual.
The No.1 European health care system is Norway but I was unable to find any in-depth data on it other than that it incurs a per-capita cost of $6,072 as compared to the UK's $4,725 (no.10 overall).
That's a 28% higher level of funding.
However, the No.2 European health care system is the Netherlands' with a per-capita cost of $6,128.
This is partly funded by a statutory health insurance system (another de-facto tax) and has fully integrated the private and public sectors into a single system that is in effect public plus.
So in conclusion.
Firstly these are very different systems that place a higher portion of the cost on the individual.
Secondly judging purely by the per-capita costs involved the NHS is clearly a more efficient service ranking as no.10 globally at only 2/3rds the cost.
The per-capita cost of these higher performing systems average out at around 30% more than the UK which simply reinforces my assertion that the NHS isn't underperforming due to inefficiency, but rather due to a lack of funding.

As with so many news outlets you keep using the term far right for anyone who is both traditionalists and considers themselves patriotic. I know these values are looked down upon these days but I do not remember one election where opening up Britain to mass immigration was ever on the manifesto of any party. Many true working class people, who would never identify as Tories feel ignored by both Labour and Tories alike. I know many of you think of the Tories voters as a bunch of toffs but millions of working class people vote Tory because they are small c conservatives but now feel abandoned by them too . To be honest I would imagine most Reform voters would turn out to be working class, maybe equal to the number of middle class Labour voters, as Labour doesn't represent the white working class anymore. Maybe all parties need to start listening until a true right wing party appears on the political horizon.
Traditionalists in the age of information, of social media, or AI is called being reactionary. Reactionary politics are far right politics. Maybe you don't like the term but from what you describe you fit the bill. Quite funny that you don't like the term aswell, because it proves deep down you know that it is morally wrong, but yet you still find ways of justifying it to yourself. I consider myself a patriot for instance, but patriotism has f-all with hating migrants, our multicultural society makes me feel proud to be British. I'd say the idea that foreigners come over and destroy our culture is anti-British. The EU is not going to change British culture, the Americans have given it a good go, but here we are, still as British as ever.
Also "as Labour doesn't represent the white working class anymore" - Why do you lot obsess over bringing race into everything? You also think Labour need to listen until they become a true right wing party? You are barmy mate, absolutely gone.
Well said.
Im patriotic, and I hate reform. They will not fix the country, only cut taxes and increase spending, something that really doesn’t work. Labour will actually do “patriotic” things, like funding the military, making bank of nationalising transport systems, increasing employment by opening factories for munitions etc.
@@FreeRojava2025 Reform have nothing to do with my post. But if you believe in Labour I'm afraid you will end up very disappointed.
@@FreeRojava2025 I'm 110% behind arming and supporting Ukraine, especially given the recent lack of support from the US (hopefully that will change soon) but the UK seriously does not need increased military spending. We are in a cost of living crisis, mental health crisis, NHS waiting lists through the roof. Dealing with those issues and the massive black hole of legalised corruption in the British economy is more important, more pressing patriotic issue than increased funding for the military. That doesn't mean the UK should stop giving Ukraine arms and support though.

As it is, there's basically no difference between the Tories and Labour. Hard working Brits feel like we're being squeezed and squeezed; with the main 2 parties offering zero policies that benefit us.
Conservatism refers to being cautious and careful in your actions, and rejecting rapid change. Attempting to halt immigration trends overnight, cut government spending by orders of magnitude and directly interfere with primary and secondary school curricula are all very radical policies. They are not conservative policies, they are reactionary - aiming to reverse current trends through radical change.
Social conservatism champions the same views as it did in the fifties, in respect to religion & demographics, the main issues for people who call themselves socially conservative, is inflexible and fringe.
Lazy ineptitude!
@@ZakGriffiths-zq9lj Regardless of what words people choose to use, if we have a party that is constantly trying to change the status quo and push it further to the left (the Labour Party) and a party that is only trying to maintain the status quo (the Conservative Party), the Overton window will only ever shift to the left. This is the major problem with current British politics.
And if this is the case, you have to concede that the Conservative Party doesn’t hold any real fundamental values.
@@baileyharrison1030 I agree that the conservative party does not hold any fundamental values, except that of gradual change. That is what it is to be a conservative: to move with the times, only slowly and cautiously. I also agree that this means the overton window moves left as a general rule. This is because the left and right are defined in terms of their relationship to hierarchy - the left opposing existing hierarchies and the right supporting them. Democracies with a full electoral franchise, by their nature, ought to trend towards a more egalitarian stance as people vote for their interests (which, for the majority, is equality). Further, the political culture, at least in the west, since the French Revolution just seems to prefer the left. Equality is an attractive idea I suppose.
Therefore, you’re right, there is no major political party with a platform of actively rolling back progress and changing the status quo to recreate abolished hierarchies. The reason there isn’t is because, post-WW2, there was general agreement in the West that trying to do so was immensely dangerous. That consensus seems to have broken down to some extent, as evidenced by the rise of reactionary parties across europe. So you’re right, the reform party is the only party offering a genuine option of undoing social progress and moving society backwards. That is exactly why I think you shouldn’t vote for them

Providing a voucher for private service to people can't get NHS care in a timely manner is actually not a bad idea.

The thing is they will never have to face the music with any of there policies. Cut NHS waiting time to zero sounds good, but how? Are they going to give more funding? No they said they want to cut spending, and the voucher for private healthcare is money from the NHS to a 3rd party, meaning the NHS will still have the same if not higher cost. So they can sit there yelling get good, keeping themselves in the news cycle and getting paid to appear of GB news, but never having to implement any policy.
hint...they know they aren't going to be in government so they can promise whatever they want. Same with the greens and other small parties.
Cutting healthcare wait time to zero is a pipe dream, even the awful US "healthcare" system doesn't accomplish that unless you're extremely rich.
Their plan to cut wait times to zero, by handing out private credits. Is genuinely the most moronic thing I've fucking heard as a policy.
It'll cost the government vastly more, while fixing very little. If they want a radical reform proposal, I'd go with tearing up the PFI contracts labour started and Tories continued. They're what's really fucked the NHS.
It works in Kent. I’ve had two knee replacements performed at a private hospital yet paid for by the NHS. Didn’t cost me a penny, and the first op was about six weeks after first diagnosis, second op was four months later. I’m very pleased with that.

For now, as abhorrent as some of Reform UK's policies are to me, I think they're good for politics in this country. Short-term, the right-wing of politics has been split, which levels out the playing field and allows parties to have more nuanced policies. And long-term, having a party that's pro-proportional voting is a good thing, regardless of whether the Tories recover or if Reform UK rise up to take their place at the primary right-wing party
At the moment we have a centre-right party and a centre-left party. That leaves space for the far right, the far left and a proper centrist party.
Sounds like a great party
I class myself as far left, but I somehow find myself more aligned with reforms policies than anyone else’s. We desperately need radical change. The current political system obviously isn’t working for the majority.
