Your original question was not in any way just trying to get multiple angles. It was worded specifically with an ideological slant. The AI you have chosen is also not in any way unbiased. Because it is implying that the two sides are equal, when any poll will show you that it is not in any way. But beyond that, the actual damage done by the previous party is measurable. In numbers of jobs lost, in the ratio between bureaucrats and frontline practitioners in healthcare, and in test scores in school. This isn't a subjective thing that you are trying to make it out to be. The previous government did actual tangible damage to the province, And the current government has made actual tangible progress towards fixing it. I would be quick to argue that the current government has not gone nearly far enough. And one of my biggest complaints with the current government is how they are financial liberals, not financial conservatives, and their solution to most problems has been to throw more money at it. Something that is not in any way sustainable long-term. But at least they have been targeting that money to places where it will do good, as opposed to the previous government that spent even more money, but exclusively on administrators and managers and other bureaucrats, with not a penny getting to the front lines.
