"I think it's the best of a bad bunch.Just imagine the shit we would be in if Labour had been in the last few years." I agree, if they had been in power we wouldn't have even got this far. Sadly i don't think this goverment is either strong or stable at a time when we need it to be the most. | |||

Back on track? We're in huge amounts of more debt. Their economic model is not sustainable. There is only so much you can squeeze the poor and the more the do so the more it affects the economy as people have less money to spend. Yet the keep giving the rich tax cuts. Therefore their tax income is less and less so they have to make more cuts but without actually saving any money overall. Plus there is a limit to how much they can cut. | |||

Odd as Rory borrowing since they got in has dwarfed labour borrowing.

"I think it's the best of a bad bunch.Just imagine the shit we would be in if Labour had been in the last few years." I find it so depressing when people say that, that it’s the best of a bad bunch. | |||

That is right and as well they cut benefits from those that needs it and with the problems the universal credit have, with giving money in time as it can take up to 6 weeks. | |||

Ordinary people having the ability to live normal, local lives is what makes a National economy work. Making sure that Mr & Mrs Ordinary from middle England have enough money to spend locally is what will make Britain Great. Ordinary people with money spending that money in the local economy is the most important thing in any economy, rewarding the uber wealthy results in the uber wealthy retaking their cash away from the U.K. and like it or not, this doesn’t help us. | |||

A case of government making decisions for short term gain resulting in long term loss! But companies building and supplying infrastructure can't do it for nothing! Without profit no company! Two sides to every story! | |||

" Can i ask what labour would do to that credit card bill?" I've no idea. You'd need to ask John McDonnell or someone. Whether it is justified or not, there is a perception among voters that the Tories do the economy better than Labour and Labour do social progress better than the Tories. So when the mood is for belt-tightening, people vote Tory; when the mood is for progress in social affairs, people vote Labour. Blair and Brown overcame this perception in the 1990s by promising to stick with the spending plans of the Major government. So no-one had a stick to beat them with over the economy. | |||
