Dave's making a habit of saying "this regime has no legitimacy and has to go" might be funny to see him practise what he preaches.

I don't mind paying more tax if it means we get our debt down. I like this governents strong stance on folk playing the dole system by claiming they can't work when they can. Too many folk think jobs like picking up litter is below them

We only spend what we can afford - we are taxed at source and at the time of consumption (so that takes care of that), we have a mortgage and monthly bills which are all paid on time, and if anything is left over, we use that to save up for luxury items.

Call me old-fashioned, but I don't buy anything I can't afford - the only time we have ever taken anything on HP if it is on 0% finance (and not then if the finance costs have been loaded on to the item's price).

I'll be back off my holiday towards the end of July. September it'll probably be then.

Do we want this Government out? What and have the old worn out crap back in which led us in to the financial crisis in the first place?

Strange - people still seem to be smoking, drinking, eating out, buying LCD/Plasma TVs, and watching Sky/VM; there don't seem to crowds on the streets lamenting the loss of those.....

I voted no,i remember callaghans government and all the problems of the late 70's,i was young so it didn't impact me as much as my parents but i do not want to go through that again .My only reservation is the coalition ,i would sooner a single party be in power but perhaps thats just because of the rarity of coalitions in this country ,mabe given time it will work fine ,it may even stop a single party getting out of control ,which is what happened with the last tory government imo ,as one party could keep the other in check

Factual.

I voted no. I didn't vote for the Conservaties, I did for the Liberal Democrats, and while I disagree with a lot of what the government does it's silly to chuck them out after less than a year. The questions of legitimacy are off the mark as well, if anything this government is more representative than prior ones, the combined vote share is over 50% which not even Labour got in '97.

I don't like the cuts, and I think that the government is cutting more than they need to because they are ideologically in favour of smaller government and lower taxes and the recession and public acceptance for dealing with the economic situation gives them perfect cover.

alferret · 04-04-2011, 19:14

I voted NO! Could we have another 4 years of bloody spend, spend, spend labour? Because that is the only alternative to what we have at the moment.
I would rather cut my intestines out & blind myself with a blunt pencil than spend more time under those manky labour male appendages!!!!!!!!!!!

Bankers or some thing similar...

The one thing that sealed the future fate of Labour for me was the note that was left by them

'There is no money - good luck'

Joke or not, that is the most damning statement of their government possible

That was indefensible, mind you so is this imo

a minister admitted the measures were on a scale Margaret Thatcher could “only have dreamt of.”
