Our current leadership are a bunch of muppets.

They're not even putting existing roads first for safety and active modes improvements. Instead, they want to build more "roads of national significance" or basically big expensive motorways. Better rural connections are needed but there are bigger priorities for the economy that would actually support and encourage growth.
