Since living in Spain, I have seen the government pass legislation protecting and recognizing more trans and reproductive rights.
One example is the introduction of 3 days of paid menstrual leave for a person has debilitating pain, nausea, etc. Companies do not pay for this. The national healthcare system does.
It can be done. Spain's democracy was founded less than 50 years ago with a new constitution.
What is the taxation system like, in spain ? Here in the UK it seems that cutting taxes = more votes.

f tax is set at a rate that people pay in, the money is then there to provide these services / payments and it costs taxpayers less in the long term.
3 days leave can make all the difference to recovery, people don't need to worry about losing money as it is covered.
@zleap@qoto.org @noemu@social.coop yet the tax burden never really changes much and we pay20% VAT on nearly everything so any cuts in basic income tax gets added elsewhere.
England is shit.
