Originally posted by SandyD View PostI just don't know how Scandinavia and indeed many other European cities manage all these ideas? High tax, but high quality of life, clean streets, clean cheap reliable transport, good schools, good health and social care... how do they do it? They don't have more resources than the UK?
We can't be compared with the Nordic countries. Big countries with vast natural resources and tiny populations and, importantly, populations that don't comprise a huge "cannon fodder" demographic like ours.
Once the teat of the state had been turned on Scandi style, we'd soon be sucked dry.
Anyhow, a lot of what I read tells me that not everything is Hunky-D in Sweden these days.Comment

I really didn't see that coming.
So you missed the fact that many well-off Tory-voting older people who are against Brexit had a policy of "anything but the Tories".?

Anyhow, looking at the results the whole of the SW is blue apart from Bath, Bristol and Plymouth so I'm not to blame for any of this chaos.Comment
