I'm similar, although fair housing provision is at the top of the list for me. The thing is though, many of these single-issue positions reach out into all sorts of other areas that it's impossible to solve without some serious changes to legislative, fiscal, monetary, and organisational obstacles.
Everything from ownership, private property, tenants rights, workers rights, social equity, economic inequality, environment, private provision of finance, taxation, state and municipal power, devolution, democratic norms, proportional representation, all feed into the same equation.
That Labour have hemmed themselves in on many of these fronts is to accept they'll never be able to move the dial on the individual problems many of us face.
(Edit: very safe Labour seat here, and I'll likely vote Green)

Steve Richards(Rock and Roll Politics Podcast) noted that when parties do get a huge majority as did
Atlee, Thatcher, Blair they had the space to get stuff done (for good [Atlee], for evil [Thatcher], or for some good some evil [Blair].
While I too have a main issue which in my case is public realm use and planning to save humanity, I align Green and have almost always voted Green.
This time I'll likely vote labour, despite living in a Lab cert constituency.
I wish to see these Tories totally eliminated. I also have to believe that Labour will be totally more radical in government especially if they have space for this. I find it hard to believe otherwise and filter out all the annoying back tracking from labour on many issues.
Since they haven't been in power it's impossible to know what they will be like in power untill they get it and the room to act
