I agree with the rest of your post.
Governments are normally at their least popular by mid-term, mainly because their most unpopular policies are implemented first.

The Johnson government failed in the eyes of the electorate not with the implementation of its policies but because of partygate.

Productivity is a very difficult matter. What is meant by that? A financial comparison between countries of GP vs the number of workers? The ratio of civil servants to real workers? What are real workers? Bricklayers? Carpet fitters? Car factory workers? The answer seems to me that we should build our own wind turbines, make our own washing machines, etc and export them - for example.
It's all of these things and more. You forgot to mention the railways, for example, with the unions putting their foot down at every sniff of modernisation.

I'm a bit surprised that you questioned me on this, Seph. You must know we can do better.
