How can anyone have any faith in George or this govt....How?
'Government debt has increased by Ł555 billion since George Osborne took office in 2010, the latest official figures show. The Office for National Statistics said this week the Government had borrowed Ł70.7 billion pounds in the first 11 months of the current financial year. Barring a major last-minute turnaround before the year ends next month, the Chancellor is likely to borrow more than his forecast for this year of Ł72.2 billion. With inflation at zero and growth rates far from booming the Government is yet see real public debt falling as a percentage of the economy – the most important measure for assessing the public finances. The Office for Budget Responsibility – the Government’s spending watchdog – cut its growth and deficit reduction forecasts in new projections revealed in the Budget a week ago. The fiscal watchdog, which is in charge of official economic forecasts, said GDP would actually only grow by 2 per cent instead of 2.4 per cent in 2016.' http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a6947661.html

Politically aware people, maybe. The ones who count - the swing votes - the "current casual Tories" who don't really take much to do with politics other than vaguely sometimes reading the papers and then going out to vote are sadly still just as duped as they were when they bought into the bulls**t back in 2010. They believe that the previous Labour government made a big mess and got us into loads of debt, and that Cameron / Osborne / the current Government have "balanced the books" with their austerity measures.

Where do you get the 'snob' part from in what T.S. said?

I just ignore those who still believe the Labour party brought this country into disrepute and that the conservatives are the ones trying to restore our country because they simply haven't been interested enough to find out the truth and if they are not interested enough to follow general politics from all sides, then they aren't going to be interested in anything I have to say.

I was more a Conservative in 2010 although I voted Lib Dem, however I did not hold Labour responsible for the financial banking crash that came. In fact I feel it may have been worse as David Cameron said Labour was regulating the Banks too much. So he would have regulated them less had he been in power. I did feel they could have done more in govt to prepare for harder times but that financial crash hit all major Nations around the World. I thought Labour did the best it could in the circumstances and also did get us out of recession by 2009 and also had us heading back to around 1% growth too by the time 2010 came in.

Well the idea that the only Tories who still back Osborne are those who are not 'politically aware'. I also think that its a straw man that people blame Labour for causing the crash - very few people actually think that. There is, however, a very strong case to say that we were very unprepared for it and unable to react accordingly.
Nah don't have a problem with that, every ideology is interesting |

Many people do think that Labour were instrumental in the crash, ' the mess left by Labour' is a phrase trotted out as often on here as it is on PMQs literally once a week at least. What are we prepared for now, we've created our own mini recession, who will be blamed for that if not gideon?

But anyway; what I was actually saying is that there are a lot of people who take only a passing interest in politics, who believed the Tory rhetoric in the run up to 2010, and who still actively believe that Camerosborne has "sorted out the deficit" and "got the country back on the right track" with their programme of austerity and cuts, cuts, cuts. Which is false. But they believe it and voted Tory again, and will do so again next time, because "we don't want that Labour mob getting back in and spending all of the money that the Conservatives have worked so hard to save!!!".
