The UK is presumably paying some interest costs on borrowing even if it's tiny.

The government is currently paying around 2% pa to service this debt

We all pay this interest not the Government. We do seem to live currently in a world where somebody else pays and money simply grows on trees .......

That is the problem in the UK, nearly everyone wants someone else to pay, very few people seem to be prepared to pay themselves, this seems to be a fundamental difference between the UK and most other European nations. 

I think a lot of people would be happy to pay a bit more, as long as it wasn't being wasted. Like all the money blown on dodgy PPE contracts, stuff like ferry companies with no ferries, subsidized Parliamentary bar, that guy renovating a duck house on expenses and so on.

Stand as an independent MP and promote your ideas. 

My MP is already lefty enough, just not from a party with enough sway to do anything

Not a question of being left or right.  Just pragmatic and have an understanding of the basics of  finance would be an advantage at the current time.
