Rupert_Baehr Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I don't think that the Conservatives will keep to their promises. That's a pretty safe bet. They represent the wealthy and the wealthy are shielded from the hardship that we are about to endure. There aren't that many wealthy people in the UK, are there? - If the Conservatives only represent the wealthy, how do they manage to get more than about 2 or 3% of the votes even in a bad year? ...If they get in power, they will screw you. . . . Another safe bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jobee Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I don't think that the Conservatives will keep to their promises. They represent the wealthy and the wealthy are shielded from the hardship that we are about to endure. They talk the talk because they need votes from ordinary people. If they get in power, they will screw you. . . . They talk only libdem where I live, the conservative's gave us council tax. Labour gave us two wars and a pile of debt.

It's the relish with which the Tories will do it that's so unappealing, and yes, you're right the reluctance of Labour to seriously address the problem that makes them so unappealing. The middle way is the right way. Standing up to your friends is even harder than fighting your enemies, but it has to be done for the good of the country. Vince Cable for Chancellor! - supported by anyone who's got the country's interests at heart rather than punishing their old enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 the conservative's gave us council tax. Because before that we didn't pay any kind of tax at all for public services? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're trying to get rid of a load of us and let private companies run services and re-employ us at a cheaper wage. Many people have been TUPEd and given a raw deal.

spinac Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 What is 'the middle way'? - Is that 'Say you're going to make cuts then "forget" to do so'? Forget? Why forget? Lib Dems have been (more) honest about the scale of the problems we face. Perhaps that's why people would rather not vote for them - they'd rather bury their heads in the sand while voting for a party friendly to their vested interests. If people sell the family silver they should not be surprised when they can't find a knife and fork. Short-termism is the name of the game. People can't see into next week let alone the next generation. Why should politicians worry about the long term then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
