Is this the government's job? To please people?
Support for the death penalty is at/around 50% - so governments should bring it back?
Most people don't want more houses built near them, especially around London
Most people want lower taxes
Most people want higher taxes to fund the NHS
Which do you support?
Is this the governments job to please people? Well, hang on, you keep going on about pleasing 17.4m people and sod the rest? You keep saying that you want your government to do whatever you want and they shouldn't even debate it, they should Brexit because you're stomping your little feet? Even though millions of people voted the other way, you're the only important person in the country?
The NHS doesn't need higher taxes. That's nonsensical and an excuse for the government to either a) privatise it / private health insurance it b) increase taxes and plough more money in to something that is badly managed just so they can say, fixed it.
The NHS has good funding but it's being spent on PR/Marketing and Management teams that sit around a table all day in suits discussing their golf handicap and what food they should order for their awards ceremony. The NHS is being pulled apart by greed and individuals who only work a few hours a week but demand huge salaries while nurses are being battered by drunks in A&E after working a 60 hour week.
Most people want lower taxes - obviously. The government can achieve this through improved management of public services and increasing productivity and exporting. Not that Brexit is going to assist with any of that. Lower taxes are achievable but the Conservatives are a high tax party, they want the working person to be taxed right up to the limit, so they have to work as long as they're told to or starve. It's the Conservative way, high tax, low disposable income to keep the worker bees working for their Lordships.
Most people don't want houses built near them - I agree. I don't like new houses being built near my countryside abode but perhaps the government should be looking at better quality living standards and improved building design. British housing estates are appallingly laid out and offer no room for growth. They're poorly thought out, overly expensive and the build quality is poor. They also pop up on land that really should be left to nature, instead of re-working land that is already developed poorly. They could replace large swathes of London with property that accommodates more people in much better and more plushy environments but they're persisting with the nonsense of 3 bedroom houses with a garage that can't actually fit a modern car in and takes up more space than is required for the occupants. Less people would be accused of 'NIMBYism' if what they were getting was a well thought out, well planned and environmentally conscious solution to housing issues. We don't get that, we get 500 houses plonked on an ancient woodland with the displacement of hundreds of native animals and beings - that's why people become NIMBYs
Support for the death penalty is at 50% - any official link to data on that? Even so, support for the death penalty is like Brexit. What kind of death penalty? Are we talking for mass murderers? Are we talking for someone who forgot to put the bins out on time? A death penalty for someone who has murdered dozens of people is probably going to get a lot of acceptance, even among some lefties but the death penalty returning for someone who stole a loaf of bread...no...that won't get 50% support, maybe 5%.
The government is voted in by the electorate to run the country, keep order and ensure the population are as safe as possible. The military, the police, the emergency services all work to achieve this but the mis-management of tax payer money and the cutting of vital services and frontline staff is really angering people.
