I'm not from England, I don't know how things work over there, but why are Lib Dems in this election? Weren't they completely destroyed last time you guys decided to have an election? How are they still claiming to be a political party?

they weren't quite destroyed.

Also UKIP have no seats and are still a "proper party" enough that they got to JAQ off on the BBC debate.

If May loses this election it's going to be the most enjoyable piece of schadenfreude in years. Never mind getting a left wing government, it's going to be like when Tony Abbott got ousted in Australia: the enormously enjoyable humiliation of a self-entitled fascist, their hubris punished, their ambitions in shreds.

We're going to have to have words about your ideas re: health policy

Well as it was presented to me...

quote:

Party 5

Invest an extra £11 billion every year into the NHS and social care by the end of the next parliament.
Discontinue the 1% pay increase cap for frontline NHS workers earning less than £35,000.
Guarantee rights of EU nationals working in the health and social care to remain here.
10,000 additional GPs by 2025.
Increase planned spending on mental health services by at least £500 million every year.
Lift the cap on medical school training places from 7,500 to 10,000.
Non-urgent NHS care only for British citizens or foreign nationals who have paid UK taxes for at least 5 years.
Establish a Department for Health and Care, and create a sustainably funded social care system assimilated into the NHS.

None of these seemed to bad of an idea to me....

Investing 11 billion pounds in the NHS ...Good.

Discontinue pay caps for low wage public workers...Good.

Guarantee rights to EU Nationals working in health in the UK...Good

Training more health professionals...maybe this speaks to my US experience..but one of the causes of high costs in the US is lack of health professionals so IMO...Good.

Increasing spending on Mental Health Services.....Good.

Allowing more schools to teach medicine..connected with the above issue..Good.

Limiting access to some NHS services by some foreign nationals I don't think is a bad idea...if you have for example tourists having a non-emergency visit they should have to pay something. 20-30 dollars. But don't just give them service for free.

I'm assuming the last thing is not a bad idea either.

And there were a lot of things...for example there was one transportation infrastructure policy I agreed with everything...except they wanted to ban any expansion of any airport and end gas subsidies for travel.

I'm an American and I know plane prices in Europe are a drop in the bucket compared to what they cost here in the Americas. Do they really want to lose affordable tickets and make it much more expensive to travel for everyone? Because I think that's what that kind of policy would end up doing. And that hurts everyone, low class to middle to high. If a airport like Heathrow has too much traffic (and it seems to me like it does) you really need to expand it. I just can't see why anyone would be opposed to this.

They already pay, we have EHIC for member states of that agreement and charge non-EHIC foreigners for healthcare after it's said and done. Sometimes the UK doesn't get the money back from people who bolt after being treated. That's always going to be the case.

"Limit access to foreign nationals" means "People who work and live here and pay taxes to fund this health service, who may even work in this health services, should Go Home if they want medical care for anything less than a heart attack".

EDIT: And yeah, literal tourists already have schemes in place.
