Personally, I can't see Labour making much of a difference either way. The economy will get a bit better, as inflation continues to fall and interest rates come down, but it won't be owt to do with them. The root cause of most of what ails this country is low productivity/growth, which is bloody hard to fix.

Odd why would they do that? They didn't when they were last in power and when Lord Mandleslime sent out scouts for immigrants!

Why wouldn't they? There are few levers left to grow the crappy UK economy and this is one of them (that is politically palatable to most of their voters).
