Should the UK have compulsory national service? Do we need more police? How bad are NHS waiting lists? What about our failing water companies? Over the past week, the UK has seen a host of new policy proposals in these areas. The first in our new series of election economics newsletters sets out the big policy ideas announced in the past week and adds evidence on the proposed measures to help you decide whether they are good ones. We also review election briefings from the major economic research institutions in the UK.
