Have the Conservatives fixed our country?

[El Cid]

The Conservatives have been in power for over 6 years. There was much promise about fixing our drunken, broken and broke society, what have they achieved?

Has Cameron solved the problem that we had with scroungers, if we had one?

 

If the Conservatives win the impending election(2010), David Cameron has promised Duncan Smith a role as the person "responsible in government for bringing together all our work to help mend the broken society".

 

The 2010 Conservative manifesto states: ‘Immigration is too high and needs to be reduced. We do not need to attract people to do jobs that could be carried out by British citizens, given the right training and support.’

[Gamston]

Name the last Government which delivered all their promises. If Labour had won the 2010 General Election, then the UK would have been in a similar situation to Greece.

They can't get rid of all the disabled and poor in one term. It will take a while before we really reap the benefits of this Government. Starvation takes a while to kick in.

IT started with a message of hope, the big society.

As Osborne has gradually missed targets by a lot, it's stuttering along. No credible opposition from labour will keep the blues in for a few years yet.

To be fair it's a series of failures.

100k net migration?

Deficit gone by 2016?

In 2008 Cameron was saying that he wanted lower immigration, an insider said 50,000

They're taking their time. Once it's fixed they'll get voted out so that Labour can wreck it again.

Growth is bumping along at around 0.4% per quarter but most worrying is the decline in UK manufacturing. The Tories promised a "march of the makers" but what a joke that is, UK manufacturing is in recession and, just as in 2007, we are reliant on the finance industry. Any wobbles there and we are in big trouble.

I heard the manufacturing industry was in recovery mode

its this damned referendum holding us back

They haven't broken it any further, which in comparison to Labours "We'll spend our way out of recession" election pledge probably counts as a success.

 

You can't gauge anything against the most recent Labour election campaign as the basic premise was "We'll probably do something, maybe, not quite sure"

I actually thought the Labour manifesto was a lot better in hindsight.
