I was more thinking of the contrast between Thatcher's government and the one that preceded it; both very different - i.e. not the same thing with a different face.

Anyone who thinks that any major party will get rid of 70k per year diversity officers is deluding themselves. They all promise to cut waste, none of them ever does.

Thats not a bad permie rate, I guess around 150-200 contract??

Different spin possibly, the same Civil Servants working up to retirement running the show.

Conservative and Liebor policies are so close now, you can hardly get a fag paper between them.

It's only fair that Labour should win the next election, they will probably be out within a couple of years. But if the Tories win, they will have to do the necessary and may not get elected again for a long time. They will not only have to tackle the enormous deficit, but the structural faults that still exist that created it in the first place and get the blame. Doomed.

Would agree, if I was Cameron, Id let Liebor win the next election.

I think we can all see the problem with that approach.

It would be interesting to speculate how long Labour would last if they were elected. The Pound would presumably fall pretty quickly and unemployment, interest rates, calls to MFI come soon after?

Brown winning the next election? The media seem to be turning the heat on the Tories at the moment & Brown's getting some positive coverage. Think I'll be fast tracking my move to Spain if that shower get in again!

Looking at it from afar it does appear that the Conservatives could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

There is still plenty of time for more economic bad news though and that will only reduce Labour's chances.
