The reality is that to have a successful Government delivering socialist policies, you need a good economy, which means not driving away the rich. Labour and the Scottish Nationalists will never learn!

Okay maybe you don't remember. A record number of business folding, a record number of house repossession and unemployment doubling, the Tory handling of it made them unelectable and the growth labour enjoyed wasn't because of either party it was in spite of them.

The others are much more negative. One party highlighted what they see as a failing but to me was a real positive.
Just wondering how other areas are going in this sort of arena. I like positive campaigns.

One of the reasons I'm thinking of voting tory is from what little electioneering I've seen they have been positive. I don't want to hear what the other mob will do in their opinion I want to hear what they are going to do
