    I’m not British. But this is what I think Britain needs :

    1. Campaign finance reform. The United Kingdom is one of the only democracies in the world where corporations are allowed to wire hundreds of thousands of pounds to political parties. Brits often argue their system is better than the US. I’m sorry, but being better than the US is the same as having no standards at all.

    2. Publically owned water companies. The senior management of UK water companies have looted the country. Billions were lost. It’s a complete disaster.

    3. A ban on gambling ads. Gambling ruins the lives of so many people.

    These 3 policies are not extreme in any way. They are not far-left, hard-left, communist, or whatever. They are simply about creating better incentives for a better country. Implementing them would help ordinary people.

    Yet Keir Starmer doesn’t have seem to have the guts to do that. I hope I’m proved wrong.

    Britons deserves better.
