One thing that does stand out about labour is their ineptitude in economic management and one thing that does stand out about conservatives is their ability to control and manage an economy, we do need a middle ground ,that much i agree on or the swings and roundabouts will continue

It's not entirely unfair to blame them, and in particular Gordon Brown. In the mid 1990s he did sign up to changes in the banking system that allowed the kind of abuses that contributed to the current recession.
