    The economy runs itself and the government has little to do in it. And the less it fiddles around with it the better.
    That's what the Germans thought and then f***'d it up.

    "Not fiddling" with the economy is actually difficult, because there are so many pressure groups expecting the government to step in for them, siphoning money off etc. etc. in the process screwing everyting up.

    Wendigo, if you were a true conservative, you would have supported john major and william hague, when things were dismall, now that david cameron has come along promising ir35 abolision, your like a tart in heat.

    Grow up woman, they are all the same. About the only choice of difference is between the green party and bnp, and even they r similar when it comes to enforcing law.

    It's been more stable than the Tories in that it's never gone into recession under the Labour (more than 2 quarters of negative GDP).
