In general, just the scope. But what makes them *harder* now than before:
- party system more complex
- more data/analysis available
- academic life much tougher
- publishers less efficient

They remain the only government in my lifetime without a theory of how economic growth happens and a determination that it definitely not be through universities, immigration, high skilled services, tax simplification, trade relations etc

"You know how British Rail was starved of investment because governments kept prices artificially low? And how privatisation has seen ridership increase with increased ticket prices underpinning much needed investment?

Well, we've nationalised it again, so we can go back to freezing ticket prices!"

Essentially acting like a plumber who you've hired to fix a cowboy's mistake who goes 'wow your shower is broken. Anyway, I've always had a lot of thoughts about electricity' and then proceeds to start hacking away at your living room lights.

I think we might have to acknowledge that the current government is advertising itself as substantially less liberal than those of Sunak or Johnson.
