Can the unthinkable happen?

Isn't the likelihood of a Tory win what's propping up the UK economy? Or put in terms I've seen recently "Labour are leveraging The Fiscal Credibility Of The Tories".

True, I think the fall in Sterling over the last few days is, in part, down to some waking up to the fact that Cameron is a crock of tulip.

According to Cameron's mandate the project I'm currently working on will be cancelled under a Tory Government. The hardware/buildings/infrastructure is already in place, we're playing catch-up with the software - yet the whole project *will* be canned after a Tory victory - ah well, make hay while the sun shines...

He’s probably right though. Liebore have spent too much money they don’t have on systems nobody needs and which will probably cause more trouble and expense than they’re worth.

I’d like to hear Cameron taking a harder line on public spending, particularly because the euroland politicians will disagree with him. It’s time for someone to stand up and tell them they’re wrong, and that what is needed is for all governments in Europe to rethink every aspect of spending and identify those tasks which cannot be carried out in any other way than with public spending and quite simply stop spending on everything else. The whole of Europe is running deficits and it just has to stop. Governments need a new discipline of only spending the money they have instead of making wild projections of economic growth and then spending the money they hope to get next year. Mrs Thatcher would have had the courage of her convictions to tell the whole of Europe ‘you’re wrong and I’m right’, and Mr Cameron should do the same.
