I'm not a politician obviously but you've got to ask yourself whether if these people what are supposed to ‘represent' us had another brain it'd be lonely (if you see what I mean).
Take housing. Everyone keeps banging on about how we need an extra 300,000 a year ‘cos there's such a shortage but no one stops to think, well what about the rest of it? You can't just chuck up 1,000 houses in the middle of a field. You need roads, a school, doctors (that'll be the day) and above all else water.
