Your problem is that you can not bear anyone to criticise your 'saintly' leader.

Claytonender, how do you know David Cameron was aware of the private members bill before it was tabled by individual MPs? I doubt he did.
I am fine with anybody criticising David Cameron if it's based on factual policy. I've done so myself in the past.

Mancie, I don't have time to write every single policy relating to the economy, but here are some. You'll be pleased to hear that David Cameron has agreed with raising the top rate of tax to 50% during the economic recovery, quite a steep rise considering it has been 40% for some time. This is a policy I disagree on (surprise Claytonender
), as does Hyndburn's current MP.
It's not all about tax rises though, they can't entirely solve the huge budget deficit. We have to remember the scale of the crisis we're now in. In the 70's the budget deficit was 7% and had to be bailed out by an IMF loan, now the deficit is a staggering 14%. Whichever party comes into power spending will be cut in many areas. I'm sure personally you disagree with it, but we simply can't keep this budget deficit up or we will lose the confidence of investors preventing us from borrowing and things could get a lot worse. Not to mention the interest we're paying on our current borrowings. The interest is far greater than some of our current spending budgets - what a waste. The Conservative Party are thus far the only party to ring fence the NHS from spending cuts.
There's lots of in depth policies to help a recovery, I just thought I'd post a flavour of the tax and spending policy.
