Apparently, there is only a short period of time and only one person to save the NHS. Again. Ed Miliband says he will hire loads more medical staff so the current poor dears aren't too rushed off their feet to cope.
Generally, it is an arrogant disregard for the job they are paid to do that causes the problems, but it would be asking a bit much to expect a Labour politician to understand something before pontificating.
The arrogance seemed to appear just after Blair decided that nurses were all graduates and should no longer do 'menial' jobs. When it became apparent that someone had to do it, a new grade was invented and 'lesser' nurses appeared. But with strict demarcations so they didn't do anything really nursey. Like stop people from falling over, even when they are the only person around.
Blair did a lot of this sort of thing, insisting that everyone should assume that they are the most important person and act accordingly. If you fancy getting steaming drunk, go ahead, who should have the right to stop you? Your enjoyment is paramount.
Any politics gets staid if a party comes to see power as a right, but ten years of Miliband is as near to a guarantee that Britain will be a poor, crime riddled, socially immobile, uneducated cesspit as you can get.
Every Labour government has ended with the country in a mess and always required solid Conservative common sense to get us back on our feet. With this recession very much of the climb back has been due to the hard work of individuals, control of our currency and some Conservatives sticking up for us, under a Labour and Lib Dem leadership, although one claims to be the leader of the Conservative party.
