Labour’s legacy

I’ve been looking at various country ranking indexes to see how much things improved under Labour. Here’s some of the movements:

• Human Development Index – dropped from 9th to 16th
• Corruption Perceptions: Score dropped from 89 to 85, down from 1st to 3rd
• Economic Freedom: Score dropped from 83.7 to 78.9, down from 3rd to 5th
• PISA Maths, Reading, Science dropped from 494 to 479
• Govt debt: from 33rd highest in OECD to 18th highest
• Environmental Protection: from 17th to 33rd and score from 75.96 to 57.7
• Press Freedom: from 13th to 19th, score from 86.02 to 79.72
• Academic Freedom Index: from 0.88 to 0.79

Imagine what they could have achieved with another three years!
