Compared to almost every other country in Europe, we spend far less.
The majority of European countries understand the need for citizens to have a happy and healthy life.
Almost all of Europe use a PR voting system to elect politicians.

Kemi Badenoch says she doesn’t want centrists in her party.
Instead of focusing on what people actually want, like an NHS that works, she’s choosing to imitate Farage.
If you’re sick of the name calling and just want things fixed, join the Liberal Democrats.
