sues_budgie Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 So the honeymoon period is over, and you are beginning to notice the warts and all on your partner - that mole on his/her bottom is beginning to become more noticeable. SO what do we think of the Conservatives, we have had the retoric, we have listened to the "Labour spent the money" over and over again, but now perhaps the honeymoon period is over. One of the Conservatives great selling points, would be that Britain would be "open for business/back to work" - 12 months on, is this the case? What red tape or silly laws that were introduced by New Labour have the Conservatives managed to overturn? have they made it easier for small and meduim business to grow, if so, which red tape has been cut? WE are seeing the cuts beginning to bite, with the job losses and all the consequences, however I am hoping that businesses will be allowed to grow and create wealth and jobs in the future, Are the conservatives doing this, or is it the same as New Labour - but with the non jobs being chopped?

discodown Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Here lies the real problem for the ConDems. Well for any government really. Its easy to say "well the last lot did this or that..." but you've actually got to deliver. Labour spent umpteen years blaming the tories which is part of the reason they got voted out. The coalition has to start delivering something tangible and realistic, they are on fairly shaky ground as it is. If they don't the public will turn on them.

I agree - now is the time to start to deliver. I am now begining to get doubts - I hope David Cameron can do something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now begining to get doubts - I hope David Cameron can do something it took years to get into the mess we are in, why should this government be able to turn that all around in 12 months? why do you have doubts?

WeX Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I cannot see any sign that things are turning around for small or meduim sized businesses - that is my concern isn't the fact we are no longer in recession an indicator things are getting better? i certainly have seen in the two sectors i work in an upturn. but as the government has said, its going to get bad before it gets better. again why do you think what took years to create should take less then a year to resolve?

But this government won't deliver and were/are never likely to, yet people still voted for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
