Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Fair, but I don’t think they will, and I don’t think people will stop voting for them forever, as much as I’m looking forward to the next general election. Even under Labour, though, the NHS gave great value for money, but middling outcomes.

      Well I suppose “Just give up and let the conservatives ruin this thing I like and want and is objectively a societal good” is, in fact, an unpopular opinion!

        Respectfully, this is why we can’t have an actual conversation about healthcare in this country. What’s objectively a societal good? Medicine? Sure, but I’m not proposing that we stop practicing medicine. Universal access to healthcare, free at the point of delivery? Also good, and a feature of most healthcare systems in the developed world. The specific funding model where the government runs the entire healthcare system through taxation?

        I dunno, seems like it gives good, but not great, results, terrible staff morale, and a permanent state of crisis.
