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.

The usual suspects can carry on whining about cuts and absolving Labour of any blame for what happened over 13 years, as they perennially do ,but can you imagine what sort of mess we'd be in now had Brown won the last election?
It beggars belief that any sensible person would risk giving Balls and Miliband control of UK PLC after their role in the biggest bust for decades but it just goes to show how powerful things like spin, benefits culture and the prospect of a mushrooming public sector and unions running the show is for some deluded and naïve folk. Maybe they run their households in a similar chaotic manner and that's why they can't see just how inept the party they vote for time and time again is. Maybe they just don't want to admit their own failings, preferring instead to blame the 'nasty' party for everything under the sun and supporting those whose only answer is spend, spend, spend...
