Personally, I don't think it is a budget that is going to do much to help our economy or improve the lives of the people in the UK.
However what amazes me is that anyone expects current budgets to, the Conservatives took over a horrendous financial mess,we were told, hard times and difficult restructuring of finances had to happen. I cannot understand how people think we should be getting giveaway budgets at present.

I do though feel, this coalition has already lost its way and did even at least 9 months ago. You cannot be fudging this and that, re-writing this and that and always looking over your shoulder at someone you need to rely on to govern effectively.
The Lib Dems are playing at being in Govt, they love the ministerial positions they have and like sitting on the Govt side of the house. Other than that they have nothing now credible to offer other than their 57 votes.

That is stifling successful Govt. and we are likely to muddle through to 2015 with this farce of a governing coalition who will fail to clear the deficit by then, likely still have higher unemployment then than when they came in and the NHS will be heading down the road it was on from the late 80s to early 90s when it was in its run down state completely.

This budget, has no real punch to it,nothing that will stimulate confidence, growth or stronger economic recovery.
This coalition was formed to govern in the national interest, it is only in fact governing in its own interests and it is the UK that will be the worse off for that incompetence.
The Conservatives have many good ideas but they cannot get them implemented, sadly David Cameron is a poor leader of them and also a poor PM, who I feel will go down as a one term premier.
The Lib Dems are being led by Clegg into a political abyss,(deservedly so too),meanwhile we the public have to have budgets like this which really offer little as to making the UK strong financially again.

It will make little or no difference this budget, people will be right to ask in the next year or so, when all forecasts are being revised downwards again,just what is this Govt playing at.
The problem though is this coalition Govt,the Lib Dem part of it that is,I actually can almost believe that the Lib Dems are cleverly working to destroy the Conservative's chances of doing well at the next election 'from in Govt' rather than working with them 'as a Govt'.
