You're the most convientent conservative avalible, so maybe you can explain some things?
Why would Labor have formed a coalition with the Lib dems? there's another center-right party for them to buddy up with. It might lead to the loss of their 50 remaining left-wingers but thats still a substantial increase in the house of commons.
You complain abou gorden browns handeling of the economy (differing by 1% over 4 years from the tory proposals) Do you really think that the government can have a predictable and measurable effect on the economy any more? The world economy is a bit big and complex (in the mathematical sense), with unexpected interrelations; many multinationals command a bigger turn over than national governments.
Obviously there are somethings that our government can do, like cripple the economy by refusing to join the biggest free-trade block in the world, but I don't think anyone's actually offering to let us join in, and there's no guarntee that even somthing as obviously good for an economy as that wouldn't have side-effects.
Can you explain how the conservatives were ever in power, because it is logically impossible. Watch:
Axiom: Conservatives are the party of big business. so any conservative election manifesto consists of the statement "Vote for us, we will put the interests of big business ahead of yours." and some padding.
Axiom: Capitalism works because everyone is greedy Therefore only shareholders and CEOs will vote conservative Share holders and CEOs are a minority of the voting population
Therefore a conservative election vicotry implys that either 1) they were only pretending to be conservatives or 2)capitalism is a flawed system which does not deserve to be the guiding philosophy of out legislature.
