I'm not sure what you are saying;
I consider it is perfectly feasible that we will get richer and enjoy a good life.
It is more likely that they will never get round to sorting out the roof because they can't afford the rent to keep the thing in the first place.
Just when they get close either they find a political reason not to do it or there will be other more pressing costs to be met.
No doubt if you are in the 1% you may well get richer.
It will be interesting to see how Generali's poll fares.

Without getting into party politics you can see by the chart going back over 60 years theres never been much of a surplus..
The shaded area in red represents the big debate in politics as to wether Labour should have borrowed a further £150-200bn to maintain growth.
If the next government are to run a surplus surely it will depend on a growing and healthy economy although I can see more privatisation taking place in the public sector.0
