They're the ones in charge, what Labour would do isn't actually the issue as they won't be in power until 2015, and it seems extremely likely that they will be in power in 2015. That we have the worst opposition in memory doesn't excuse the government being completely crap.

It doesn't and wasn't intended to. It was a reminder to the increasing number of people out there who seem to have very conveniently forgotten how utterly inept they were in either causing or presiding over the problems we now face. It was a reminder that Bliar and his cronies had 13 years to screw things up and that, given what's happened in the Eurozone since, expecting this govt. to have reversed all of that is entirely unrealistic. Make no mistake, I certainly don't think the current bunch have all the answers or haven't made mistakes, but I'd rather have them in power right now than Miliband's marauders who seem to have little idea what to do except rubbish their opposition.
For me this isn't about party politics. As I've already stated, I feel the situation we're in is so serious that we need the best brains and politicians of all parties to put their destructive rivalries aside and work together to sort this mess out. I still think the coalition has a chance of doing that but what's for sure is that the other realistic option of seeing Labour back in power would be a calamity.
Come 2015 I won't be
blindly voting for Conservative, Lib Dem or anyone else - I never have done and never will. I'll be voting according to who I feel has the best chance of stopping us plunging over the precipice, if we haven't done so already. I'll be doing that even if it boils down to choosing the lesser of two evils, which it probably will sadly.

Yes, and I guarantee he'd have missed his targets by even more than the Con-Dems have missed theirs.
