Yet again the Conservatives are faced with pulling Britain out financial ruin just as they successfully did in 1979. Then, through austerity measure and a prudent market economy, they transformed britain from the sick man of Europe to an economic powerhouse only outgunned by USA, Japan, and Germany. In so doing our manufacturing sector was streamlined from 28% to about 22% of GDP. Labour inherited one of the strongest economies in Europe in 1997 and wnet on a public spending spree. Taxes have gone up, manufacturing is down to 13% of GDP and public spending has incresed by 50% to over 50% of GDP. When is the British public going to wake up to the fact that Labour have NEVER made a success of converting socialist dogma to running Britain. GET THEM OUT NOW!
