Because spending far more money everywhere rather than just a part of the country that was decided in 1978 is the perfect solution to the fact that we already spent too much...

I don't believe that there is a fixed amount that is "too much". With the current low cost of borrowing, and the high potential rate of return on:

- Roads
- Rail
- Fibre/cell network
- Education, especially 1 to 1 support for those falling behind in school, or in prisons for reintegration purposes, or in deprived areas in general
- Research, especially on renewable energy, batteries, healthcare, and materials science
- Goverment IT projects that replace paper, manual entry, or fragmented, expensive custom systems with a joined up one (like gov.uk)

It makes no sense NOT to invest. The right choice of spending will generate more money than the interest payments.
