I think this sums up the NHS (and many other large scale issues, such as immigration, disability benefits, climate change, budget deficit/debt, etc.).
We want a quick, simple answer to very complex problems, but get annoyed/dissatisfied when this isn’t delivered, and change those delivering any changes for those who promise a ‘magic bean’ fix, thus prolonging the problem.
Please note I am not specifying any particular political party - they are all guilty to one extent or the other, but we, as an electorate, are also to blame, because we drive these behaviours (supported by the 24x7 news cycle, which lives to shock/inflame viewers, because this gives higher viewing/click figures).
If we want a better government/country, we need to be better citizens - learn more, make informed decisions, try to understand things are complex/difficult, don’t demand ‘magic bean’/instant solutions, and think what is best for our country/the world/others, not just for ‘us’.
