I'm wishing some posters here make the move there soon.

I bet the suicide rate is higher in Swindon.

Somewhat lefter polices worked because they have, or had anyway, homogenous societies. People feel happier to share with those with who they feel a bond, with whom they have a common culture. That historic advantage in Sweden will disappear given its current lax immigration policy.

^ This. Small population, with common culture and strong sense of identity and shared history.

Labour immigration has produced this instead. Have a look.

Perhaps my hero Adolph (yes, he is still alive!) should run for leader of the Tories. Loonies in charge of all the major parties would make elections much more interesting.

PS Not sure who should lead the Lib Dems. Animal from the Muppets maybe.

well you never see them together...

Say what you like about Adolf, he was quite the public speaker; knew how to hold an audience, no question about that.

Going back to Corbyn. When did socialism ever work? Every communist/socialist regime has been a disaster. Low performing economies and corruption.

Lumping socialism and communism together is pretty daft. As is claiming we've ever had a socialist government or that even Corbyn is that extreme as to want full socialism.
None of the developed nations are socialist, they're simply more left of centre than us and some of them seem to make it work.

The problem is that we live in a more controlled state than most, despite appearances. Lab and Con are both puppet parties controlled behind the scenes by the elite.

All infrastructure services - including energy and public transport - should be state run and not for profit. Get proper, well-paid professionals heading them up rather than civil servants. Society needs a good balance of capitalism and socialism. While both are sound political theories, they both make the sad assumption that everything else is a level playing field.

First thing I'd do is reverse the Beeching effect and get more railways up and running again, especially for freight, to reduce the number of HGVs clogging the motorways. Well, either that would be first or shutting the channel tunnel.
