So as (in your own words) a "Lefty Liberal Remoaner", you are unhappy that these manifesto pledges weren't achieved?
Quote:
1) Emergency budget within 50 days of election to help pay down the bulk of the deficit.
Not met – The emergency budget took place but the deficit has only fallen by around a third. It has only halved as a proportion of national income.
...
9) Human Rights Act to be replaced by British Bill of Rights.
Not met – This never happened after a commission failed to agree how it would be implemented. It is, however, likely to make a reappearance in the 2015 manifesto.
10) Annual limit on non-EU economic migrants.
Not met – Non-EU migration has fallen but there is no formal limit.
11) Overseas students at new or unregistered institutions to pay bond on arrival.
Not met – Home secretary Theresa May had a plan to make all immigrants pay bonds but this was blocked by the Lib Dems.
