I really don't buy this line of argument (if you weren't such a nice guy, I'd say it was a crock of horse manure). You are suggesting that the state of the British economy is solely a result of bad government by Labor. It is, however, plainly a result of the recent global economic crash, possibly exacerbated by government profligacy. But the economic crisis was caused by the greed, criminal in some cases, of the right-wing leaders of the major banks and financial institutions. What you seem to be suggesting is that a party of the left caused the problem, and, perhaps, by extension, it is left wing thinking that is at its root. Then how can we account for what happened in the US? Their economy took as big a shlt-kicking as yours, and under an ultra right wing government. Nah, I really can't go along with this ideological argument for why the UK economy is in trouble.
