After nearly a decade of Labour do you agree that things can only get better ?

I'll trade with you.  You guys in the UK can go back to the Tories, and I'll trade in my Howard govt for Labor.... I've been waiting a long time, we need them back to fix the country.

Better days may be a long way off...first we have to clean up all the mess. \n\nBut it was an awesome day wasn't it ;)

made me emigrate!\n\nsomeone answered that the nhs improved - how?? theres more jobs for managers and paper shufflers, and less money for equipment and doctors and nurses, and increasing infection rates.. so how is that improved. as for education improving.. again - how?? massive amounts of political correctness and huge class sizes and schools being closed and exams being dumbed down, labour politicicans wanting to shut down selective schools (that they all went to) on the grounds that they are 'unfair' to those who dont get in (does this mean that driving tests will get easier so that kids arent disappointed when they fail? i dont think so!), and kids leaving school who cant read or write, and having to pay for university.. this is an improvement???\nalso the welfare state is huge and unwieldy and costs so much its not true, with tax credits for this and pensions credits for that, all not enough of course - not for those who are in need.. those who can milk the system get as much as they want and more and fraud is out of control (i used to work in this field so trust me, i know) and costs millions. \nillegal immigration is way out of control and beaurocracy and crazy political correctness means people are just being let in and if caught, not sent home... oh unless you ahev been here for years paying your taxes and working legally and bringing up your kids in which case you are an easy target and you get sent back.. or if you have been living in zimbabwe and need to return due to fear for your life but your uk passport has expired, you cant come back then... this is better??\n\nat least maggie had some balls, more than tony blair. labour governments, well this one at least, benefit those people who cant look after themselves. the nanny state is ridiculous now, its like we cant be trusted to think for ourselves. under conservative governments the people who prosper are those who are capable or those who want to improve themselves.\n\n if you want increasing paperwork, small businesses closing down, an accountant instead of a surgeon at your local hospital, nurses getting more money being unemployed with a couple of kids than doing a job they love, police unable to arrest unless they think you are a suicide bomber, criminals not being locked up as theres not enough prison spaces for them, or getting away with it and sueing the person they burgled or who hit them back when they were being mugged, kids unable to speak or write english, no housing for those who need it but plenty for illegal immigrants, oh and the prime ministers wife with a taxpaid hair do (or rather 'hair-dont') who whilst going around drumming up support during the election is also busy fighting the cases of illegal immigrants appealing against being sent back and therefore fighting her own government (her matrix chambers, where she is a qc).... then sure! vote labour!! and watch more skilled people leave the country for other countries. those left will all vote labour as they will be those incapable of working and thus will need labour to stay in to keep signing their benefit books.. sweeping statement?? too right!!

They absolutely do get better.  The hard part is believing you will feel better and not knowing exactly how long it will take.  It can be easier to move on, for some people, if they break all contact. Believe that better days are on the way for you.

It can but it will take more then our life time. It's a slow process, but it's happening.

There is almost always room for improvement, so if you are asking that, chances are that this isn't as good as it gets :)\nThat said, you could be one of the unlucky ones for whom things don't get better.  If thats the case, I'm sorry - welcome to the club :-/

Not really, services only go so far.  Manufacturing must be part of the mix to have a healthy economy.

Nope, just better at Capatalizm.\n\n20 yr old are liberal because they can see how easliy things can be improved if people would only work together.... by the time were 40... we give up on the whole (by this time the whole has given up on us) so we look to take care of ourselves, even if it is at the expense of others.

Why is it that when everything has been going bad, something GOOD happens?\n\nBecause we are all starting from imperfection and zero experience.  And there are temptations and pitfalls that accrue from not heeding the true basic tenets handed down over the ages, just about everywhere (including different cultures and religions).\n\nLife is a struggle, we have to team up and cope with the challenges.  There will be some disappointments along the way, you cannot control what others do, only yourself, and even yourself not always...\n\nAll the most needed things are free.  As for those things that require effort or money, be satisfied with what you really need as opposed to what you want.\n\nEven when we are old we must continually remind ourselves about this.  \n\nYou see some people who are unbelievably wealthy and unbelievably UNHAPPY and may even do crimes because they WANT SO MUCH, they are never satisfied.  Also, comes from living too much for ONESELF and not enough for others, helping others, working with others, sharing with others.\n\nHappiness is doing what is right and being satisfied with it, even when the surroundings are messy, all $%^#$&^^ up.\n\nIt is possible for heaven on earth if you think about this.  Meanwhile, you can have heaven in your own little spot, for sure.  There are ups and downs for everyone, even perfect visitors.

As long as you are moving on to better things then, yes.

There is around a 70% chance of significant improvement after therapy, so as long as you have tried everything else and cannot live with it, it is an OK option.

Heck! I left the UK at the end of the 'Thatcher Years' and I thought that was bad, I recently visited the UK and I wanted to cry. The country I was once proud of, and what I wanted to show off to my children has become a laughing stock, and we have  Blair and his cronies to thank for that. England has lost everything under Labour.

Of course, if by "getting better" you mean cutting thousands of jobs, manipulating waiting lists and paying such low wages that they can't even keep hold of cleaning staff.\n\nOn the plus side... oh wait, there isn't one.\n\nI have recently been in hospital, and the service I received was fabulous.  The staff are clearly extremely dedicated and hardworking, but have to fight political battles every single day.

Absolutely. I think that any advancements that will help the general population are worth the effort.

If they keep improving then in a few years time they might stand a chance.
