Comment on Why I’ll Never Vote Conservative at a General Election by Sarah in the Desert.

I understand what you’re saying and you have made a couple of valid points on Conservatives cutting public spending. I agree with you that they do all fib! However, I don’t think any of the parties (bar Labour) can honestly state how they will improve the books until they actually get into office.

Do you not think that it is a fair point though that when the last Conservative government first came into power they had to take drastic action to bring the country out of the economic distress it was under at the time?

Also, whilst they may have under-funded in certain aspects of the economy that this was because they only spent what was affordable without borrowing billions to do it?

Health and education have enjoyed massive increases in investment and the expansion of the public sector but can the country really afford to continue running up debt to maintain it? At some point the credit lines will dry up and any Government will have to manage its own income in the same way that individuals have to manage on theirs.

“I don’t like this Labour government, but they have shown they care more about the ordinary British family than the Conservatives of the past did and the Conservatives of the present do.” I completely disagree with this, unfortunately Labour has made the financial viability for the break-up in the family unit too easy and caused single families to be better off than complete families.

The minimum wage is a double-edged sword really, it reduces jobs (a business will only employ what it can afford) but brings up wage levels whilst also aggravating inflation through price rises of businesses trying re-coup their labour costs.
