I don’t think it’s that straightforward though. Not saying your point is irrelevant, I can definitely see your point. But I feel like most of the Western world where the British government has no reach would have this same opinion.

American here; I think that’s because most of the rest of us have been fucked over by right-wing governments lately, too.

I’d take Major in a heartbeat over these cretins.

Yea, strange how a government actually investing money in infrastructure and public services improves the lives of people overall.

Even stranger that so many voters seem unable to see this obvious truth.

Would the person who downvoted me please explain why?

I wasn’t the person but presumably they thought your point of view was reductionist given that the 90s were a time of widespread global prosperity. Like there was a specific context behind all of the investment.
The government investing in public services was definitely one of the key factors in life being better back then.
