He's already forgot that link i posted the other day, or he is sticking his head in the sand going LA LA LA

Hey stockhausen , do you want me to start rattling off a list of bent Labour MP's, it looks like a shopping list for a chav family of 12 now :D
 
The cost of a 1p rise in employer's national insurance will cost 57,000 jobs, and cost the treasury more than £900m in Job Seeker's pay outs

A tax on jobs - good one. It is almost as if they've handed an anti-policy opportunity to the Conservatives. WHY tax jobs? I just cannot see the logic behind it.

Vince Cable could sort this countries economy out to a far better level then labour or the conservatives ever could. He's the only person to have noticed what was happening pre-recession and has had a very active roll in the advisement on how to get out of it.

Plus at least the liberial democrates are actually stating policy instead of the whole "well im the PERSONALITY to fix the country" which the other 2 main parties are talking about.

Who honestly gives a **** about someones personality if they can't actually think of effective ways to fix the economy without damaging the publics pockets and lifestyle

Edit - plus channel4news: #AsktheChancellors VOTE RESULTS: Vince Cable 36%, Alistair Darling 32%, George Osborne 31%

The Dancer won it for me. Darling is better in the back office than in the front office for me. Osbourne was out of his depth a bit as I feared he would be.
 
can I have a 4th option for who I want to run the countrys finances. like someone who isn't a politician?

By doing things like this?

There will be no income tax on the first £10,000 you earn

Agree for pensioners only. People who work, but are low paid should contribute.

The change will be paid for by introducing a mansion tax, closing loopholes that benefit the wealthy and making sure airlines pay for the pollution they cause.

So you want to go on holiday abroad, you have to pay even more tax. Also £1m + homes are not always mansions.

his is fundamentally wrong and the Liberal Democrats will split up the banking system, to make sure we are no longer expected to underwrite high risk banking. This will take time so we propose to introduce a 10% levy on bank profits as a recognition of the protection they receive until they have been broken up.

Great idea, except for when the banks leave and take the 12%+ of tax they provide to the economy.

Energy companies charge you less for your energy the more you use. That’s unfair and environmentally crazy. It means a pensioner heating one room pays more per unit than a millionaire heating a mansion. We believe people who use less should pay less so we’ll change bills so the first units are cheapest

Or instead energy companies will put everyones prices up, not heard of economies of scale Vince, you buy more you get it cheaper.

We will not waste taxpayer subsidies on nuclear power and we will block any plans for dirty coal power stations.

So instead we should all sit in the dark?

I could go on, but I could be here for a while :o
 
I would vote BNP but you have to vote tactically where I live to keep the Conservatives in place. So, I will vote conservative! I chuffing hate Labour, they are bad for my earnings.

Vince's record is as flip-floppy as Osbourne's and Darling's; hence the nickname "dancer". He isn't the economic god the papers make him out to be - he has made a number of incredibly policy gaffes - one which comes to mind was the ill-thought out mansion tax.

Also, who (with economic authority) has said he 'actually has a clue'?
 
Cable would make such a great chancellor... IF he wasn't such a raging leftie. Scrap trident? More stupid "green" taxes? "Fair" tax by chasing the rich? Such a shame.

One thing I will say though, that room seemed to be made up of 50% lib dem party members juding by the claps Vince was getting.

^^ or maybe they just liked what he said?

seems to me he is the only one actually talking about what he is going to do rather than just saying the magic phrase "efficiancy savings"

you can knock his policies all you want but at the moment there is nothing to compare what he said to the other two because they wont actually elaborate on how they plan to fix the economy

Yes, this was the big thing.

Dire debate for Osbourne. He's beginning to look like a real liability for the Tories going into the election. Alistair did surprisingly well, I thought, I've never rated him at all but he made George look positively silly.
 
Alistair is the only strong Labour MP and the only one i have any respect for (standing up to brown etc).

I'm sure Osborne is equally capable and be excellent at his job, but he is a terrible orator and doesn't have a good speaking voice, which shakes confidence. if i was him i would get speaking lessons asap like Thatcher did in the 80's, but i think the damage has already been done
