First problem is basic economic management and honesty. And it's not a left or right issue, it's a matter of integrity and long term thinking. We need to stop running deficits, if the Tories want lower taxes, they need to be honest and lower government spending until there's no deficit, if Labour want high government spending, they need to be honest and raise taxes until there's no more deficit etc.
Similarly they need to stop lying with statistics, increasing GDP by importing a million immigrants a year isn't making people richer, but the government tricks people into thinking "the economy increase in size by 2.5% is the same as "we made you 2.5% better off. No, government should actually be required to tell people about GDP per capita or median GDP per capita, which proves that people aren't really better off at all, and would force the government to stop focusing on "make GDP go up" and instead focus on making Britain more efficient and productive.

British voters are given a choice between left neoliberal globalists (Labour) and right neoliberal globalists (Tories), and useless ones at that. Whether you're left or right, we need serious government with actual national vision, not declinist weaklings looking to foreign domination to tell them what to do (whether that's the EU or corporate America).
There's no real plan to actually fix anything either, just tinker with things in meaningless ways, Labour wants taxes 1% higher, Tories want them 1% lower, Labour wants a million immigrants every year, the Tories want 900,000, Labour wants to carbon neutral by 2050, the Tories want to be carbon neutral by 2055 - it's all basically the same.
