The real economy depends on the largest number of capable people doing useful things. I shall vote Labour because the private sector isn’t willing to bet on sufficient demand to create enough jobs yet. That’s a main reason why we have government, to help the capitalist(least bad) system out when it gets self destructive. It’s a circular process. NO one can economically save without others borrowing. Minimal debt = minimal faith in the future; and faith is what gets things going (though in 2008 the bankers faith went OTT). Squeezing out an extra 6 billion (Con) or 15-17 billion (Lib)is just cutting creation of value – until the entrepreneurs believe we are affluent enough to spend more again. History shows that cuts in a recession just create a vicious circle. Only Labour gets this. Forget the distractions, if you get it, it’s your responsibility to get it over to other voters.
