Aviation and tourism in the UK General Election: largely ignored

The UK is about to hold a general election (12-Dec-2019) which will determine the political direction of the country for the next five years. It is probably the most important election since the one in Jul-1945 immediately after the end of World War 2.

The referendum vote to leave the EU in Jun-2016 and the opposition to it that has arisen in the Houses of Parliament since is at the heart of the election. Other issues will have an impact, too.

Britain's transport future will be determined by this election and the government that arises out of it.

But air transport in particular, along with tourism, has been universally overlooked this time by nearly all the parties, at least in their manifestos.
