You also reserve the right to perform a volte face as soon as you're found
out?

He has stopped the tanker - he's turned a growing economy into a triple dip
recession.
He's been in control for nearly 3 years, more than long enough for his
policies to take effect.
The facts don't lie.

Bollox, if his austerity had worked he'd be claiming success - it hasn't,
it's failed and he must carry the can.

Who says? Rob Woodmansey? Cos the government keep changing their mind about
what we can and can't afford. They were going to tax pasties and caravans,
scrap free school milk, sell off the forests, raise the retirement age for
women, scrap coastguards, scrap the world service, scrap DLA, tax charity
donations and raise fuel duty but they changed their mind.

Another juvenile micro-economic statement which has very little to do with
macro-economics.

That's not what they mean by a smaller state, what if it's your mobile
library that goes - or your wife's job - just because Gideon wants to fund
another round of quantitative easing.

At what expense? Which of our social and welfare services would you like to
dispose of first to pay for a tax cut? 50000 nurses? Ambulances? Firemen?
Road repairs? Where would you like to stop? 
Thank god you don't vote, at least we can be safe in the knowledge you can't
do any damage.
