Change of Government

people at work moaning about wanting a change of Government. Maybe it is needed...but if the other lot get in which areas will get they cut adrift first to make their savings? Labour's percieved heartlands?

 

I genuine can't understand why anyone would even consider still voting Labour. I can only conclude that those doing so are those that don't take any interest in current affairs. There are massive savings that can be made in pretty much every department through a little more efficiency and a lot less waste.

 

Every new government come in promising to cut waste.Better services and lower taxes thro efficiency.
It never happens.

 

the problem is

Labour have invested so much in the public sector in the last 12 years that it's gotten too big and although taxes are stupidly high it still doesn't cover everything hence why the national debt is piling up.

If we want tax cuts they'll have to cut some expenditure, I can't see how they could do it any other way.

For starters they could get rid of all the pointless social engineering projects and equality and diversity units that clog up the public sector. What a waste of time they are.

 

RE: the problem is

Yes. Everybody knows.

 

Well there's very little room for taxes to go up. Within increasing efficiency I'd include significant cuts to a number of departments.

 

Anyone who wants the Conservatives back in power wants sectioning, or better still a full frontal lobotamy.

 

you do realise

that due to the banding changes made by this wonderful so-called Labour government, next year someone earning &pound;14k a year will be &pound;50 a year worse off, while somebody earing &pound;35k will be &pound;350 a year better off?</p>

If the Tories did that there'd be riots.</p>

 

You know that third party, them yellow wotsits - they could be for you!

 

Which departments, out of interest? nt

 

RE: Which departments, out of interest? nt

For a start:
Department of Work and Pensions - simplifying benefits system, limiting child benefit to one payment per parent.
HMRC - lowering basic rate of income tax, raising personal allowances and scrapping tax credits.

 

Spot on JC.People on here haven't a clue what hard times are.I am no lover of Gordon Brown but Cameron and Osbourne terrify me.

 

Tha simply cannot educate pork nt

 

Vote for me

soul music only, would ban certain members from here, and would let even more poles into Wombwell

 

your never going to convince pppl in barnsley to vote conservative after maggie thatcher you might as well try and teach a dog to drive

 

on a more serious note given the state of the economy i do not think a change of government would be a good thing, a new government is not going to have the stones to crank up interest rates as is needed to sort the economies credit problem out, though current government aren't going to dare either with an ellection so close. in conclusion the economie is screwed, reccesion here we come

 

It's 100% certain

that I'll be voting for the Conservatives in the next one. I did in the last 6 and see no reason to change.
Labour are just 1990's Conservatives, incompetent and steadily becoming more sleezy.

 

I bet Lassie could drive Herbie. I even bet you could.

 

The government is not in control of interest rates. They gave the power to control that process to the bank of England in 1997 so as to try and avoid interest rate decisions being made for purely political reason rather than for the perceived benefit of the economy.

In all honesty, its probably one of the few good decisions ever made by this government.

 

i feel stupid know because i new that, i even did a project at school were we had to make a presentation to the bank of england about if intrest rates should go up or down
