We can’t judge them entirely on their first King’s Speech, as it takes a lot of time and hard work to get through all these policies. Also, as we’ve seen, Labour are reviewing all of the damage that’s been done to departments and are finding shocking sabotage in many cases, such as the prisons’ services for example. So it’s hard to be specific since they don’t know what they’ll find.
The voting age reduction, for example, is a piece of legislation that can be done fairly quickly and easily, relatively speaking, so they can afford to defer that, whilst they work on gaining cross party support for it. Always better to pass bills on the nod than with huge, loud opposition.
