What measures of taxation with the Tories bring in?

I don't give a frak anymore - I should be long gone by the time it happens, if it ever does.

I was reading the other other day the ramblings of someone who hates this government, but hopes that they get another session and continue with their polices full steam ahead. The theory being that if people will not rise up and overthrow them now, they will after being hit with all the tulip that is coming their way.

The Conservatives will give the same tulip if they were in power, but then Labour can claim that it wasn't them.

Firstly, the chances of the Tories winning is very slim.

They have to get a 6% swing in the vote to win and this has never happened before.

Secondly, the damage done by New Labour cannot be repaired, and so it's all a bit academic really.

You have two choices, stay and live a 3rd world existence or get out of here and try and make a new life somewhere like Aus, NZ, Canada or the mainland.

Me, I'm looking forward to owning lots of shiny wheelbarrows full of sterling and living off roadkill.

Abolish final salary public sector pensions and replace with private options, then we'll see who wants to serve the country rather than have an easy life coasting towards a comfortable early retiremnet.

I have no idea how to do this or what it would save but I'd laugh raucously.

The easiest way of doing this is to raise retirement age to 90.

Most of the parasite public sector leeches won't see a penny of it and the government hasn't reneged on the contract.

Cameron has the same lead in the polls as Blair did for his first term (13%). Blair transformed this to a 10% swing, and got a majority of 130+. If Cameron matches him, he'll have a majority of 54.

But I don't think he will. Hung parliament, anyone?

I'm sure that would get a few votes.

They will tax AndyWs and chutney spoons.

I'm not so sure they won Crewe and Nantwich pretty convincingly (and that's hardly a safe Tory seat). They won't turn the NE blue nor of course Scotland, but the midlands and the North west are going that way and that should be enough.
