Comment on General Election 2010 Poll Results by David.

There’s a lot of waste in government under Labour, and there was a lot of waste in government under the Conservatives.

They are both useless when it comes to spending our money efficiently, so to suggest this is somehow all Labour to blame, is party political to say the least!

Does anyone really believe any of the parties can cut 10s of billions from public services without it costing jobs?

What’s wrong with the Tories, well where to start!

No minimum wage when they were last in government (people paid £1 an hour) and current Tory MPs want to water it down so employers can refuse to hire people who won’t work for less than minimum wage.

Few workers rights whee they could get away with it.

Completely selfish decision making: not what’s good for the country, but what’s good for them and their friends.

Cutting services so they can give tax breaks for the better off who won’t spend the money, so it doesn’t even improve the economy**. This was not cutting waste, but cutting core services because with good services under the Conservatives meant no tax breaks for the well off.

Public services like the NHS was terribly under funded to a degree where you’d die on the waiting list, spend 18 hours on a trolley in a waiting room, had doctors working unsafe 72 hour plus shifts putting the health/sanity of the doctors on the line and the health of their patients.

Thatcher said there is no society and went out of her way to prove she was right. Many of the problems we have today in society where seeded by Thatcher.

Apparently we had no homeless people on the street prior to the last Conservative government!

Considering they call themselves the party that understands the economy they took us through two recessions and let the country suffer offering no help to those in most need. They wanted to do the same with the current recession, they’ve been wrong on every major economic decision since the banking crisis!!!!

Thatcher, Thatcher milk snatcher.

The list goes on and on.

** Giving a tax break to the less well off is generally speaking a good idea as it stimulates the economy. If you have a family on minimum wage they pretty much live hand to mouth and have no savings. You give them say £20 extra in their pockets each week and it’s not going into a savings account NOT working it’s way through the economy, (money sat idle in a bank does not stimulate the economy very much: unless we are looking to increase bankers bonuses?) no it’s going to be spent on products and services (food, going to the pub etc…) which stimulates the economy since money has to be spent to work for the economy. Give that same £20 to a well off family and it’s going straight in the bank not buying products and services that generates jobs.

The Tories argue the gap between the poorest and richest in society has widened. It probably has because over the last decade Labour’s policies has resulted in business doing extremely well which is good for everyone, but in particular well off people.

I’m self employed and the money I earn has gone up quite a lot over the last few years. I make all my money online and Labours policies have been really good for me in business. It’s quite easy to make good money in Britain when you are highly skilled, I get web sites ranked high in search engines and I’m very good at what I do: I started this site less than a year ago and last 7 days it’s had over 100,000 visitors, most from search engines and businesses world wide pay good money for my skill set.
