Not quite, Jaysay. However, some of us can find more than one argument against the Conservatives than the number of years they were in power as the universal insult.
I have now heard quite a few financial experts on BBC Parliament and various other politics programmes describe the Labour model for clambering out of recession to have been a decent route to go down. That isn't to say it was the quickest or that they were absolved of any blame this side of the pond, but the phrase 'too far, too fast' is almost becoming a mantra even with the impartial observers with what is happening to us now.
In East Lancashire alone, they've managed to help another 300+ onto the dole in the past month. Not exactly progress, is it? You'll defend the Tories to the hilt, citing '13 years' every time, but what we're boiling down to here is that it's getting too expensive to manufacture anything and rapidly rising retail prices are laying waste to countless staff.
The Tories are doing this here and now, there's no getting around it.
