I would think the economy is a priority never mind whether men in red coats can chase foxy woxy on horseback;)

Re: Conservatives and Liberal Democrat Coalition Government
 

You are right jaysay to think the economy is a priority but do you seriously think this Lib-Con lot will pull together and agree on a solution?
Cameron pulled the Con MEPs out of a long-standing alliance in the European Parliament with the mainstream centre-right parties.They were not of his ilk.
Instead he allied his MEPs with dubious centre-right MEPs from Poland,Czech Republic,Latvia,Finland,Hungary,Belgium and Holland.They fitted in better with his European policies and "principles".
Somehow in the UK Parliament he can go into coalition with the Lib-Dems who are centre-left with European policies and "principles" light years away from his.
More "principles" flushed down the Con-Lib loo.
You can't really think this concoction we have as a goverment will ever have the staying-power to get to the roots of any major problems.

'Those who have saved up for their retirement are to be clobbered by a big increase in the Capital Gains Tax on non business assets. This was one of the Lib Dem demands that the Conservatives agreed to in order to get a deal.'As the Conservative’s own tax policy advisor Lord Forsyth says, if we want the economy to grow: ‘You don’t do that by punishing people who save and invest and want to pass assets on to their children.’
Trampling on the fragile economic recovery with tax hikes on the wealth creators does not make economic sense. Nor is this politically justifiable. There is no mandate for it.'

Now what do you say when I put links on here from the Mail:rolleyes:

Re: Conservatives and Liberal Democrat Coalition Government
 

It's relevant to what's being discussed in this thread.

;)


Just as this is...

'Capital gains tax (CGT) will rise and a cut in inheritance tax (IT) will be put on the back-burner as part of the Government’s overhaul of the taxation system.'

'An increase in the IT threshold was a key Tory manifesto proposal but the Conservatives have since made a u-turn as part of its coalition agreement with the Liberal Democrats.'
Coalition confirms CGT hike for non-business assets - IFAonline

Re: Conservatives and Liberal Democrat Coalition Government
 

It makes not a jot of difference what this government does in some peoples eyes, the fact is we are in one hell of a mess, which was portrayed by the note left at the treasury by Labour ministers saying, there's no money left we've spent it all, which would have been funny if it was not so tragic, and what a thing to joke about, mind you we shouldn't expect any less from political morons. It will take 20 to 30 years to put this country right, not three days

The only thing John Major left, when he departed number ten in 1997, was a pair of Edwina's knickers.

Use of HIPs (home information packs) are suspended from next week and will be abolished as soon as the law can be passed.

Now that is good news

Re: Conservatives and Liberal Democrat Coalition Government
 

If ,Jaysay,it will take 20 to 30 years to put this country right,are you suggesting that Cameron and Clegg's next non-mandated diktat should be to have a fixed term of 20 to 30 years?
Or are you hinting that this Con-Lib love affair will end in tears after a few months and the next Labour Government will take decades to clear up the mess left by this weird experiment we are suffering now?
Any guesses as to which manifesto promises will be ditched tomorrow?
Discarding policies and principles just so that they can have power cannot be in the interests of the country.It is a recipe for disaster.

So You think everything in the garden was rosy prior to May 6th Mr Broadley, and the good ship Labour had steered a steady course, well over £1 Trillion in debt tells a different story to those not blind enough to see
