The three main parties (if indeed we can still include
Lib Dems) have all failed economically.
Labour overspent in addition to letting the ravening bankers off the
leash.
The Tories & Liberal Democrats in coalition, have
only given the appearance of an economic upturn. The customary Tory
smoke and mirrors.
Currently, UK debt is running at £1.4 trillion! We are
adopting long term, policies which Keynes had always seen as being 'short term
pump-priming'. Regrettably, these are being used as sticking plaster
solutions as our politicians continue to borrow at a rate approaching £100
billion annually. With that much money to play with, it would be astonishing if
there were not some indicators to disingenuously point out as
'improvements'.
Only UKIP is untainted. Their economic policies are
neither 'simple solutions to complex problems' as recently stated, nor are they
pie-in-the-sky. They have been fully costed and make more sense than anything
I've seen in decades!
