Re: Ideological choices have consequences, September 20 letter.

Ideological choices indeed have consequences ... the previous Government got an F on every single measure due to their misguided beliefs they knew better than every other single person.

Health, wealth, education, economy, energy security, poverty, crime, housing, societal unity ... the list is nearly endless.

On every single measure, this country is worse off, some by many magnitudes, than it was in 2017. There is no escaping the truth.
