Getting back to page one the OP.
I do agree, but Labour's record with money is far from responsible.
While in government it decimated company, and private pensions, so now there are very few final salary pensions left, and private pension pots have been greatly reduced, thus having a great impact on both our working, and retired population.
Mortgages, under Labour were allowed to spiral out of control, and some of the wealthier people who saw their pensions hit, put their money into buy-to-let properties, which now results in expensive homes to buy, and sky high rents. Add to this the massive increase in immigration during Labour's rule, and it now adds to the massive housing shortage and problems we have today.
Then there's the selling off of our gold reserves, at a scandalously low price, and so single handedly being responsible for our increased UK debt. It gave Gordon Brown billions to play with..... but where did all that money then go?
It went towards massively expanding public sector numbers, with sky high salaries, and layers of management that weren't there before. Some of the contracts handed out were unbelievably, and ridiculously over the top, and one of the many fallouts, is that we have massive pension commitments for years to come.
So, by all means lambast Osborne, and the Consevatives, but the alternative hardly inspires one with a sense of hope, based on their abysmal past records, so would we be trading inept for even more inept?
Or like for like?
I have no party affiliation, and have voted for who I thought was the best at the time, but truth be told, whoever gets into Office seems to mess up. What I do not do is follow one Party blindly throughout life, believing they have the panacea for all that needs to be put right.
Those people have closed minds, you cannot debate, or reason with them, because, like a religion, it's their way, or fingers in their ears...
