Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 4
Labour have had thriteen years to start something on all these issues that they are suddenly passaionate about and have done bugger all so that alone tells you all you need to know. Lib dems are saying things that appeal to a wide audience but on close scrutiny some of their policys unravel quite alarmingly and the economics show where vince cable was taken apart was also not good fortunately for them very few seem to have seen\heard about it.
Are the torys the dream package hell no of course they are not but right now they seem more practical then the alternatives despite some of their shadow ministers (step forward chris "foot in mouth" grayling) being less then confidence inspiring. Welfare does need reform and every sensible person in the UK acknowledges that and the tory idea of everyone being assessed again to determine wotk ability seems fine to me as long as it isn't wholly atos doing it.
Training again is something DC talks of a lot and i would dearly love to see a proper training regime in the UK so we do fill some of the skills gaps with our own people long term rather then keep importing them in. Nick clegg talks about a britain fair for all then has a load of policys ready to hit that will smack those who work hard create wealth and jobs and basically punish those who are stupid enough to gain wealth. Having a brother that stands to be hit massively by the lib dems i admit i am not in favour of them getting in as if labour or the lib dems get in he is off out of the UK taking his tax and ni contributions with him and probably at least a few hundred jobs as well.
People constantly slag the torys because they are not hostile to the rich and thats the way it should be we shouldn't be hostile to people that make jobs and wealth in this country we should encourage more to do it and help them to do it. Neither of the alternatives in this election really hold that view although labour saying one thing right now means nothing were they to get back in as we all know and have had ample proof of for the last thirteen years.
