With Theresa May ignoring actual facts to indulge in dogwhistlery for a public that is told what to think by her friends in the press (as well as Gove making up policy from a hole in the top of his head), I wondered if anywhere has actually had evidence-based politics? I suppose the post-war consensus where those in the education and health systems were left to run their own professions counts to a certain extent but has it been put forward as an actual manifesto for policy-making?

Biggest problem since that period, as Marklu said on the DT, is that politicians want to create their own system within a system for which they can take credit, while blaming other poor saps for the rest of it.
Even when there's some good policy about, it warps the whole set up.
