Just off the top of my head:

State-sponsored higher education that is later paid back through taxes. Free healthcare, also paid for by taxes, and affordable medicine. Decent mass transit, although railways are a disgrace. Labour laws. Paid sick leave and mandatory minimum vacation days. Paid maternity leave, and tax breaks for new mothers.

PM is a Russian asset, but still better than Trump.

Decent mass transit, although railways are a disgrace.
