Halla Tomasdottir emerged victorious as Iceland's president, driven by a vision for youth mental health and ethical artificial intelligence. She advocates for reform in capitalism, insisting on transparency, environmental standards, and the inclusion of women in leadership.

Her leadership calls for a broader dialogue with civil society and the youth, acknowledging the pressing need to tackle inequality and the escalating climate crisis.

In contrast, the Shadow Transport Secretary sharply criticized Labour's plan to nationalize the railways, deeming it ideological and harmful. She warned of rising costs for passengers and an increased burden on taxpayers while lamenting the growing power of unions.

Her solution lies in establishing an independent pay review body to mediate between workers and the government, steering clear of direct ministerial interventions swayed by union contributions.
