Who do you want to and think will win the Election?

What am saying is a recovery would have occured under Labour. Better recovery. When youve hit rock bottom the only was is up.

 

This is not to mention how the poorest have been effected by cuts. We all know the rich are getting richer under this govt.

 

Funnily enough the Greeks, the Irish, the Italians, the Spanish and the Cypriots found there is a very long way to go down when you keep spending. The reason for the cuts is to reduce the price of the big government created by Brown & Blair. If Brown had won in 2010 we would have lost our AAA credit rating and be paying substantially more in financing our dept than the 10% of tax revenues it is costing at the moment.

The bookies are saying Labour are more than twice as likely as the Tories, of getting an overall majority. And every single one of them, reckon Labour will hoover in the greater number of parliamentary seats. Cameron's big problem in 2015, and he knows it, is that he didn't manage to persuade enough people to vote Tory in 2010 when he had the chance.

 

Labour majority or coallition. Nailed on. The reason Cameron cant win enough votes is because its transparent in the tories actions over the last 5 years what they stand for and who they represent.

All those economies mentioned are very different to uk.

He couldn't get a majority against a very unpopular government. Truly I don't think Cameron is a very good politician.

If the constituency boundaries favour your opposition, you have to change them. This should have been his number one priority but he screwed it up when he fell out with the LibDems over House of Lords reform.

He isn't wildly popular among voters (even Tory voters; he's lost a third of the Tory party's members), so you would think he would have as his second in command someone who is more popular. Instead he chose Osborne, who is even more unpopular than he is.

His judgement of people is poor - Andy Coulson as his head of communications? Oliver Letwin as an advisor? Letwin is the guy who thought up the poll tax and also let burglars into his house at 5am when they knocked on his door and asked to use the toilet...

Plus when the country had got really fed up of Blair, Cameron comes out and announces that he is the heir to Blair.

 

I realise that I might be coming over as negative about all the parties but what do you do?

The public sector cost the UK £156 billion more than the governments 2009 income, the only way to have avoided increasing UK debt from that point would have been to cut the public sector by £156 billion or increase UK taxation by £156 billion, not a nice position to be in when taking over an economy. Thankfully the deficit is falling.

The deficit may be falling but the National Debt is rising and over double the figure in 2009:

I'm struggling to share this positivity about the managing of the economy as it seems to me the deficit is still way too high and our debt is out of control.

Since the Government raise around £600 billion, there are more options than "the public sector". Good things come out of "the public sector", the NHS and many other essential public services.

The NHS is taking on more private work than the Titanic took on water.

 

The NHS is already history!!

I thought Britain did lose its triple AAA rating: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21557646

I thought we did lose our AAA credit rating which the Conservatives were so precious about anyway.

If I wake up the following day to a UKIP/Tory coalition then I think I shall emigrate to Romania before the gates close
