Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostI can’t see labour ever doing it. Lib Dem, possibly; I think Vince Cable’s their trump card and they might just play that card if it comes to forming a coalition, which I would hope would be Lib-Con. The UK could do with some liberalism, especially on the civil liberty front.

Tories haven't won in over 100 years where I live, but it might go Lib Dem at the next election if there's enough sensible voters.
I can't see Tories getting a majority from here, to be honest, so it's a moot point (IMO).

Originally posted by Tarquin Farquhar View PostNo, indeed. But there are some things that the Nasty Party is decisively better at.

The doubling of unfunded public service pension liabilty, under Brown's stewardship, is not included in the Brown Debt figures.
Nor is the halving of private pension fund values.
Nor are his PFI/PPI liabilities.
Debt? We ain't seen nothing yet.

Originally posted by Tarquin Farquhar View PostAh, but they don't. Tories claim that they do, but in this too they are perpetrating terminological and other inexactitudes.
When were you hypnotized?

However, the Tories might win, so I suggest that all the Tories here start brushing up on how they are going to claim that things are better and it is the Tories who did it.
The reality will be that things will be worse but the Tories' incompetence will be such that it would be unfair really to pin any blame on them.
