Looks like next Govt will be Labour.

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.

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.

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.

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.....

Yes. What we need is proper Keynesian economics.

[TimberWolf]

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

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.

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

I'm not labour but I do wish politicians and voters alike would stop blaming them for the GLOBAL financial crisis . That was due to insane trading of mortgage books by banks internationally, in order to boost a false future income for the idiots to swallow up.

I had a read through the 1990 budget debate...

Mr Major?s Comments During Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation Debate - 26th March 1990

I love the way Major tries to explain repaying national debt...

Mr. Major

As for the future, under the fiscal judgments that have been reached, fiscal policy will knock out a further £17 billion of debt over this year and the next two years. As a result of that, we shall have reduced national debt, which stood at the beginning of this year at around £160 billion, by massive sums in total. That is the reality of the fiscal judgment. Our fiscal strength also means that debt as a proportion of GDP will continue what has been a headlong fall - from 50 per cent. in 1979, to 32 per cent. in 1989 to a forecast of 28 per cent. in 1990. It is now down to levels not seen since the beginning of the first world war. It is hard and intellectually indefensible to suggest that the fiscal position is neither satisfactory nor tight.

Mr. Boateng

We need no lectures from you.

Mr. Major

It is, I grant, unlikely that they will listen, but we shall try.

[Old Greg]

Well, thank **** we still have a democracy, whereby we can vote for the bunch of ***** that wave the Blue banner that have the same ****ed up policies as the bunch of ***** that wave the Red banner that have the same ****ed up policies as the bunch of ***** that wave the Yellow banner that have the same ****ed up policies as the bunch of ***** that wave the...

You get my point.

UK Democracy - where a weary and apathetic nation vote for more of the same.

Don't vote. It only encourages them.

[hyperD]

I may remind you of John Major's only budget speech where he reminded us of uncontrolled credit and his introduction of the TESSA.

You may, but I refer the gentlemen to today's conundrum above.

Eh, no.

I do not live in London so I am probably out of place saying who I think should win.

Boris is a bit of a twonk and I do not think I would want him running a car boot sale but red ken is an absolutely detestable individual, I have him down in the Sheridan, Galloway group of absolute tossers the left pile up in front of you every so often.
