Tbf the Tories haven't published their manifesto yet. All this about tax hikes is pure speculation until they do.

We haven't had six years of austerity because of the last NL government! We have had six years of austerity because austerity is part of neoliberal economic preference! All neoliberal governments employ austerity because its their economic ideal.

The only way they could follow that preference was to rid the country of creeping socialism and that's why our government puts the world crash squarely on Browns shoulders and the tragic thing is, so many of us bought into that lie.
