What a strange perspective you hold of the 1990s! Anyway, this was some 25 years ago and I really can't summon up the mental strength today to debate history.
The plain fact is that the Coalition Government have sorted out the worst financial crisis ever caused by a succession of Labour Governments who decided to raid all the pension pots, sell the gold and spend all the money they inherited on the most amazing spending spree which saw benefits claimants getting as much money as senior managers!
I think the difference between Labour and Conservatives is extremely stark and you will have to make your mind up whether you want to go back to square one (2010) or whether you want the improvements we are now witnessing to be built upon.
We can be doing well again in five years, or we can be impoverished. The choice, I guess, is ours.
