I think the why Cost of Living became a problem is important to look at. Yes there was Covid. But underlying Covid were two other problems. Housing and Energy cost. These are two failures of multiple governments. Not having solutions for housing and energy make a party vulnerable to other inflationary pressures.

So I think the solutions to better positions countries for growth into the future is important rather than just being not the republicans.
