Plus if I were PM Iād instantly give myself total power of everything so could issue any planning required. Benevolent dictatorship, perfect governance. As long as Iām the one doing the dictating.
Just in case anyone was still thinking of voting Conservative tomorrow, this sums up the tragedy of the last fourteen years quite nicely:

So to summarise (although not everything as I got bored cutting and pasting.
Sure Start centres, Connexions, legal aid budget cut;
Local government budgets were slashed, Audit Commission was axed;
Working age benefits frozen, Local housing and Child Benefit cap:
Educational maintenance allowance and Student grants scrapped:
Tuition fees in England tripled but new schools are all hacked.
No capital for floods, prisons, transport or power stations
āGreen crapā cut and Green deal gone so no insulations.
Brexit done so all your rights gone along with controlled immigration
No right to protest, voter ID, oligarchs do what they want.
No growth, food backs, sleeping rough, no GP appointments and high hospital waiting times.
No dentists, no ambulances, no social careā¦
Kind of feel that they did start the fire. Probably accounts for why they have got rich, there is no rule of law and the national debt has tripled without the nation seeing a single benefit to show for it.

Why, it almost looks as though they have been running things for themselves and their billionaire paymasters.
Almost.

They spend so much money, above and beyond the initial budget, protecting the Tory shires from the visual impact of HS2 after intense lobbying from MPs and councillors, that they had no money left to complete to northern leg.

Thereās nothing daft about actually doing things rather than discussing, planning, procrastinating and dithering. Our conversations about Spacex show our ideas on these things. Iād have a new prison running first day, dead easy. Nasa would still be planning it in 3 years and it would be obscolete when finished.
Well, maybe this will cheer you up:

Basically yeah. Iām not sure Iād say it was 100% Conservative. Oxfordshire is a lib dem / green council with a Conservative chair for example but it does highlight the huge problems with uk major infrastructure projects and planning.
I got involved a teeny bit with the Crossrail inquiry. Quite eyewatering guessing the money involved in that tiny piece i was involved in. Ultimately I was denied my 5 minutes of fame giving evidence in Westminster. Thankfully, too. I was bricking it given the people in that room that day.
I was looking for a job, then I found a job
And heaven knows Iām miserable now
(Because the national minimum wage doesnāt cover family essentials and Iām still reliant on Universal Credit)

Is this the choice we have for PM? 
Two of the worst candidates in recent years. Sunak v Starmer.
Edit: and three, Farage!
I went Greggs which cheered me up. Their sandwiches are better than Tescoās

Vote Greggs, then.
And when we end up with another five years of the Conservatives, donāt complain about it.

Thatās because Greggs is the ultimate comfort food.
