From [the UKJP’s principles](https://ukjp.org.uk/principles/), 9. Future generations: _government should be judged by the country it leaves behind, not only by the next election._

Which decision, taken or avoided for the sake of the next election, will cost those who come after us most? And what would make a government act on it before the bill arrives?

Any position may be argued here, including that the question is framed wrongly.
