People are affected a lot by velocity, not position. If things are seen to be improving in 4 years after cuts and so on, Tories will be popular. If they're still cutting everything and everyone's miserable, they'll be out.

Originally posted by JobsAGoodUn View PostI hope that's something which the Tory PR machine will be dealing with when the time comes.
I rather suspect that the coalition have set the recovery plans at top speed so as to get the pain over in the first 2 years, and then have a couple of years of decent recovery to put the country back on its feet. They sure as heck won't want to be going into the next election without something positive happening.
The trouble is, 'events' can always bugger up the best-laid plans...

Now the b*strard Tories are in it all seems to be going pear-shaped

FFS it will be a lot worst than that in a year's time.
It's how they stand in four or five years that matters.
