badgerx16 Posted 19 April, 2010 Share Posted 19 April, 2010 A quote from Bland-boy Cameron today, saying why voting LD is baaaaaad, and likely to leave Gordy in power: "You could easily wake up on May 7 and find literally you are stuck with what you have got, you are stuck with Gordon Brown in Downing Street, you're stuck with a deficit,........" But, if you vote Tory, the good luck fairies will come and magic the deficit away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Bognor Posted 19 April, 2010 Share Posted 19 April, 2010 Back to the subject.....Part of me wants Labour to win, so that I can watch Fraudon impose deeper cuts in Public Spending than those imposed by Thatcher. I actually think that watching all the socialists squirm will be quite funny. They'll end up hating him more than they hate 'her'. I also wouldn't mind Cleggy getting in as it will be quite funny watching him call the IMF in within 12 months when they have completely avoided the issue of the defecit (which isn't even in the top 4 of their priorites) and we are bankrupt as a nation.

dune Posted 19 April, 2010 Share Posted 19 April, 2010 +1, It's just been on the news asking how Labour and Tory voters (that are thinking of switching) will react to the Liberals going with the party they, the voter, least likes. I really think you're the ones jumping the gun and counting your chickens too soon. In places like Eastleigh and even Winchester (where a big swing would be needed) i'll be very interested in seeing the election results because a vote for the Liberals will mean a vote for Gordon Brown unless Clegg comes clean and clarifies his position.

Johnny Bognor Posted 19 April, 2010 Share Posted 19 April, 2010 Whilst the Tories will "cut civil service costs by a third over five years" by "not filling vacancies as they arise". I couldn't say whether this would work or not without knowing how many people are due to retire / leave over the next 5 years. Not sure it will make a third, but its a step in the right direction nevertheless. As it happens, National debt is approaching £1 trillion with a deficit of £175 billion per annum. Now, let's say you have £10k on your credit card and you are adding £1k per annum to this balance, what would be your course of action???? 1. Go out shopping 2. Do the gardening 3. Clean the car 4. Defrost the fridge Oh ****, nearly forgot, try to work out how to sort out your finances. This is akin to Lib Dem policy where dealing with the defecit is not even within their top 4 priorities.

From the BBC summary of LD economic policy ;"identify and cut £15bn per year of lower priority spending to protect front-line services while reducing structural deficit at least as fast as Labour plans, beginning in 2011". Compare this with the Tories "Aim to eliminate "the bulk" of the UK's structural deficit within five years beginning in 2010 with £6bn in cuts", and Labour "cutting the deficit by more than 50% by 2014 and reducing the structural deficit by at least two-thirds over the next parliament".

Johnny Bognor Posted 19 April, 2010 Share Posted 19 April, 2010 Why does it bother you Johnny Bogner? You have made good money under Labour as a businessman... My view is that I grew my business despite politicians, not because of them (100+ hours a week for the first five years had quite a bit to do with it). Look, from a personal point of view I couldn't give monkeys, but for the future of all of us, we can't continue running this defecit and I don't want my grandchildren paying for 'our' excesses. We've mortgaged our childrens futures and this is plain wrong. I actually want the "great" to be put back in to Britain and this requires a period of entrepreneurship. A step in the right direction is reducing the planned rise in NI. It is not taking money out of the economy and that claim by Fraudon is a total LIE. Not a total solution by any means, but a very small step. The defecit needs to be dealt with, but the difficulty with this election is that none of the main parties will be honest about it because no-one wins elections by saying they will cut everything. But, I expect it to be a priority which seems to be the case with both the tories and labour (even if neither are being specific about it). As for the Lib Dems, it barely gets a mention in the detailed and costed Lib Dem manifesto and is not even in their top 4 priorities. I fear for the future, not for me, but for the hard working people of this once great nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 5 tory priorities: 1, Act on National Debt 2, Get Britain working by boosting enterprise 3, Make Britain family friendly 4, Back the NHS 5, Raise standards in School Labours Top Priorities: 1, Economy 2, Protecting Public Services 3, Political reform Lib Dems top 4 priorities: 1, Fair taxes 2, Fair chance for every child 3, Fair future (creating a Green Britain) 4, Fair Deal (cleaning up politics) Now as we are still in the wake of the worst recession since the WW2 with unprecedented levels of national debt, don't you think the Lib Dems have forgotten something quite pressing?

Fair point and that's another reason why the Liberals policy on income tax is bonkers. They're going to give back something like £17 billion, but only £1bn of that would go to the poorest and the dipstick MP that was trying to sell the policy then tried to wriggle out of it by saying something like the richest people fly more so theyll get the money back on air fares taxation.
