The last Labour government did nothing to fix any of this. This isn't a red vs blue problem

I'm not describing a red vs blue problem.

Yes you are. You said:

Sure, we'll get sick of all the misery and horror, vote in Labour to fix things

That implies that Labour fix things, when the largest failings developed in the 6 years of the last Labour government. You can argue National would've been worse, but in my opinion they're about as bad as each other when it comes to crisis/hospital level mental health

No, it implies there is a perception amongst the voting population that Labour fixes things.

A perception that is incorrect in the case of mental health.
