That's because we are a nation who wants European levels of public services with American levels of taxation.

The calculation is an easy one - we can have roads full of potholes, multi year waits for hip replacement ops and schools with ridiculously large class sizes or we can pay to address those issues.

Two things needed to start fixing this country...

1. A truly democratic electoral system not the sham that we have now.

2. Address the inequality issue. Until the drain of wealth to the uber rich is slowed and ultimately reversed nothing will change, in fact things will get worse. There must be a wealth tax of some description otherwise we will all become poorer - including the government of the day.

Unfortunately, sham democracy and redistribution of wealth to the rich is at the heart of neoliberalism, and both main parties subscribe to neoliberalism so nothing will fundamentally change.

Don't expect your living standards to do anything but deteriorate after this election. Same with public services, roads, rivers, NHS. It will all get much worse.
