    Very much so! That’s why their slogan at the GE was literally just the word ‘CHANGE’.

    Of course, now they have to deliver change, but only change people are happy with. In fact, only change that people who might vote for them and live in winnable seats are happy with. This is the complicated bit.

        Genuinely, the reason I’ve never gone into politics is that I absolutely do not want to have the job of solving political problems. Like, when the problem is ‘not enough houses’, I just want to go ‘So build some houses’, not the thing you actually have to do which is ‘Balance the interests of a whole host of people, many of whom will be furiously ungrateful even when you do things in their interest’.
