A large majority of voters think that the government should guarantee the provision of a range of services including social care, early years education and care, public transport and housing
These initiatives are all laudable and the stated preferences in the survey may help Government prioritise.
But the question is somewhat misleading:
people nearly always want government to do more, but they are less enthusiastic about paying for it (unless they believe someone else it going to pick up the tab).
Thanks Nick - I agree that more work is needed not only on prioritisation but also on trade-offs and tax policy. Watch this space!
