To date, despite his billing as a top thinker and intellect, I haven't seen anything interesting, challenging or original from Danny Kruger @ Reform. Seems like a dud.
Sadly politics seems to be more about entertaining the masses, these days. Get headlines - tell 'em what you think they want to hear, which might work, for a while. But when the debt balloon finally bursts, people will be angry with this rubbish.
Any newly elected party’s policies (or ambitions) are going to encounter reality tests. Look at the u turns labour has made. Did it stop them getting into power?
Yes, ideally every hitch would have been thought through beforehand but some will be unknown unknowns, at least to those without specific expertise as in your parking allocation example. The specificity of the knowledge across everything a government will come across is ver nigh impossible to achieve in advance.

Is Danny Kruger, Pete's Swindon man-baby? I'm assuming so.
I did enjoy his book "Covenant : The New Politics of Home, Neighbourhood and Nation" although it could have used a good editor.
