The longer we have tories in the stronger the economy will be before Labour come in and spend our way out of problems, but right into a much bigger problem several years later. Thats what they do, we do NOT have 14 years to get the deficit under control.
Labours truly epic plan was to instead be 1.5trillion in debt in 4 years, to be 1.4trillion in debt and thought this was insanely good. We're 1 trillion in debt now(or when they suggested this) and thought increasing the debt by almost 50% in 4 years was a great plan.
Labour are woeful, they give everyone what they want, whenever they ask for it, they have literally no care or responsibility for the long term. Our government for several decades is based on a cycle, Labour spend us into trouble, give everyone what they want, load up the countries "credit card", plunge us into uncontrollable spending, over tax people, lose jobs, business, increase the numbers on benefit and public sector jobs which don't generate money.
Then Tories come in, act as the bad guys, cut spending, get the country under control, get us on a not sound, but a safer financial footing then the country, upset at their lack of benifits and ridiculous overspending vote Labour back in to make it worse again.
The current government HAS to put as big a dent in the deficit as possible in the next 5 years, because its ridiculously big, completely unstable and causing massive problems.
