Labour punish coalition !!

[Waldorf]

Perhaps it'll be a UKIP/Con alliance after the next general election. With UKIP being the third largest party.

The fear here is that UKIP will erode the Conservative vote and let Labour and Liberals in through the back door, UKIP support is much stronger in Conservative seats, so it could lead to a vast Labour majority

I am very fearful that if Labour get in next time we will sink even more into a mess, IMF being called in, sky high interest rates.....

Yet, the mugs will still vote for them because Labour have brainwashed the twunts that borrowing is cool. Borrow, spend and enjoy now and worry about debt repayment later.

It was always going to be a tough job for the government serving this term to get re-elected. But fear not, the debt is so vast that the next government will face the same problem.

The global financial crisis is not directly the cause of the problems we are having here.

The UK economy had grown very dependant on the financial sector and Labour used the vast tax revenues to prop up the already bloated public sector, but just for good measure Brown and Labour also borrowed vast amounts of money to throw at their supporters.

Government borrowing should only take place in a recession, when the economy is growing the public finances should be balanced.

What is Labour's answer, tax the finance sector very highly so that they up sticks and relocate abroad and so taking their tax revenues with them.

Yes. What we need is proper Keynesian economics.

The middle class lefties will also vote for them even though they do not personally embrace he principles of socialism (sending kids to the local comp, paying taxes and generally themselves embracing the state) because their twisted little minds believe that being labour is somehow virtuous and shows they care about the poor.....

The middle class lefties will also vote for them in order to lower aspirations of other people to their own level

The middle class lefties will vote for them because they think they are attacking the toffs and the rich people.

Looks like next Govt will be Labour.
