What does it take to be sent to prison in the UK?

If the population selects candidates based on popularity or charisma rather than on the actual needs of the population, then this can lead to governance that may not effectively address critical issues.

Then the population receives is a reflection of its collective values, priorities, and decisions. If citizens prioritize superficial qualities in leaders or fail to engage in informed voting, they may end up with leaders who do not serve their best interests.

It's only a few weeks before the USA election. I still have no idea what the platforms of either side is. But I am very aware of the propaganda of lies, and misinformation being thrown.

Here you go.

The cost of keeping someone in prison for one year in the UK is £52K.

Of course, there are crimes that demand a sentence, no matter the cost. But the cost must be considered.
