I think it is fairly safe to assume that Labour will at least try to make a bit of progress on these issues, which is more than can be said for the Conservatives. Not holding my breath for any major progress though.
75% of Britons understand how much of our energy comes from renewables compared to India, China and the USA and even our contemporaries in Europe.
First line of the article-
>Some 73 per cent of Britons do not believe that either [Labour](https://www.standard.co.uk/topic/labour) or the [Conservatives](https://www.standard.co.uk/topic/conservatives) will be successful in tackling [poverty](https://www.standard.co.uk/topic/poverty) and [climate change](https://www.standard.co.uk/topic/climate-change) without significant support from businesses, research has revealed.
Slightly misleading headline…
>Business charity ReGenerate also found that more than half of the public think businesses need to play a bigger role than they currently do to help tackle these issues.
Time to fuck shit up and vote Green! The big 2 have had their chance and keep fluffing their lines!
Of course not. Even if they wanted to, the people who don’t want them to own all our institutions. The choice at the polls is ‘we’ll maybe try to do something about the hospitals, no promises’ and ‘fuck you.’ While neither is very good, it’s easy to see there’s a difference.
My hope is that under labour things will get worse more slowly.
FURTHER BREAKING NEWS! – 75% of Britons also don’t want to pay the price of tackling poverty and climate change when they realise how much extra tax they would be liable for in order to make any kind of rapid progress on these issues.
We want to tackle poverty and climate change reduce inflation within the year and not have any tax increases! is that too much to ask?

People are fully aware that swapping C*nts for C*unts Light is not much of a step-up and the alternatives as Greens/Farage look even worse.
There is no reason to go to elections at all.
No one will, why can’t we get that. These issues are past being solved within a democracy. To do it would require an iron will and the capacity to go up against and defeat powerful and committed organisations and people who see no advantage to them in any significant change. We are moribund in both our outlook and ability to alter things to solve these really big issues. Sorry, nothing Labour will do in their new government will make things better.
The Tories have always borrowed more compared to Labour, and failed to decrease national debt when compared to Labour.

And now, they also raise our taxes to record levels, whilst destroyed our public services at the same time. So far as I can tell, as someone who grew up with no political affiliation, and from a logical and evidential point of view, there has never been a good reason to vote Conservative.
A lot of these people are unable to read or take in basic information then
I’m sick of this stupid ‘they’re the same’ narrative
Everything from the recession onwards has been sufficiently bad that it *should* be viewed in a similar way to the 1970s and it *should* bring about meaningful reforms. Of course, because the need to reform things stems from 1980s reforms stacking the deck further in the favour of well-off and rich people, virtually nothing will happen.
Labour will have their hands full pulling this country out of the nose dive the Conservatives put it into.
I would be happy if we start hearing about net zero and rejoining the EU in four years or so.
For now they just need to stop the bleeding
Also don’t believe the “they are both the same” rhetoric from bots on here. That’s trying to suppress voting. Thanks Russia
The issue is… Climate change is a real issue that has been downplayed for however many years. It’s not a priority because it’s not an immediate issue even tho it’s an inevitable one at this point.
Poverty will decrease with improvement of the economy which is in shambles at this point.
I actually think labour is playing the election very safe, but they will be much more radical in government.
Given what ive heard about the greens recently, im concerned even they wouldn’t tackle climate change.
News flash, no government ever will. Especially where there is money.
