I would have agreed near 100% with kazanne in 2010,I also respect totally her views and the way she perceives things, I also agree that 'some' people on benefits are abusing the system but I now do not in any way believe it is the numbers this Coalition would have us believe.
I am also as equally mad at the people who can manage to avoid paying relevant taxes too but little is done as to them.

No Country had the foresight to see what was coming as to the global recession a few years ago, however Labour should have prepared better for harder times, it wasn't enough to hope there wouldn't be hard times coming in the future.
I also accept Labour built up the deficit and left a financial mess to sort out in their actions to get the UK out of recession, however, had they not done that, there could have been a greater human cost as to unemployment rising massively had they chosen to go down another route.

I accept also the deficit needed to be sorted and I agreed with welfare and benefit reform, however, I have seen particularly this last year, both from a personal friend's angle and others I have got interested and involved in, the effects, stress and depression caused by this Govts sledgehammer policies against the sick and disabled, all of them, even the genuinely terminally ill sick and disabled too.

I have been involved in no less that 15 appeals as to the ATOS assessments and loss of benefits to people genuinely seriously ill, every one of them overturned and restored after appeal following the DWPs decision after the ATOS assessments.

That is not building up and supporting the genuinely sick and disabled as Duncan Smith would argue it is, it causing them unnecesssay and inappropriate stress in their already stressful lives.
Shame on the Lib Dems for ever supporting such measures.

I have well moved on from the tuition fees saga,I will wait and get my revenge on the Lib Dems for that at the ballot box next time round.
It is the NHS I fear for now with this Govt though, I have many relatives who work in the NHS, from a Consultant through to the Nursing staff. Not one of them support the NHS changes, some are still really confused by them and the view is that overall the majority of staff in the NHS don't like or want the changes,even now.
I believe it will be for those reasons that this Coalition Govt will be turfed out in 2015.
Also next year the bedroom tax comes in, the DLA changes happen and those sick and disabled on DLA will have to re-apply for the PIP whatever it is next year too, even more heartless,intrusive and unnecessary stress.

The effects of all that will be felt right through 2013 and 2014,so I really believe voters will go out in droves,not to vote for Labour because they support them but to get rid of this shambles.
This Coalition is not going to hit a single target on almost anything that it was said was vital to hit in 2010, to have the audacity to come forward in 2015 asking for 3 to 5 years more, or longer even, to get things sorted will I believe only get contempt from the floating voters particularly.

I hoped for great things from this Coalition, I have seen little to impress, and taking a sledgehammer every year to the weakest,poorest and most vulnerable is to me a disgrace as is the demonisation of people on benefits by even Ministers of this Govt.

I really don't think Lbaour will need to be saying much in 2015, it has said it will repeal what it can as to the NHS reforms, that will be immensely popular and I would support that.
They can argue that they can do little as to the welfare reforms this Govt has done but that it will instil compassion and fairness into such reforms in the future.

I don't care for Ed Miliband but I have not an ounce of respect left for Nick Clegg now and I also hoped for more understanding and compassion from David Cameron.
It hasn't happened and the only thing this Govt can say, is that things appear to be getting better because they are getting worse slower.

That's why at this time I am likely to support Labour at the next election, I am at heart a centre Conservative but I part company with these for the misery I have seen myself as to how their policies have affected the genuinely sick,disabled, weakest and most vulnerable.That's not acceptable to me.
