LAST week’s survey published by researchers at University College London is one that the incoming Labour government would do well to study.
It found that 74 per cent of those responding believed that our political system was ‘rigged to service the rich and influential.’ Ninety-six per cent believed more respect should be shown to “ordinary people.”
Well over half of respondents blamed Tory mismanagement for the crisis of the National Health Service and the collapse of other aspects of the welfare state.
