The economy has improved on paper, but I've yet to encounter a single person who's better off. Most ordinary people have actually lost money under the Tories in one way or another. Also bear in mind what they've done to improve the figures on paper - bedroom tax, taking benefits from the disabled, etc. Don't just go on what you read on the Tory website. How are the lib dems in "some kind of peaceful utopia?" Lib Dem councils and MPs do some great work. It's annoying how they sold themselves out to the tories but they saved us from a full tory government! Also you mention that you don't like how Labour no longer stands up for the workers, why are you voting tory? The only people I see them standing up for are the millionnaire bosses.
But each to their own. |
1. I have never been on the tory website AFAIK.
2. I never said I was better off, the higher income tax threshold has helped however (I do know that this was originally a lib dem idea). But higher VAT offsets some of this.
3. If we had a full tory government, as you put it, we would have decreased the defecit more. I acknowledge more cuts would have happened.
No party is really amazing, but I can see past a little personal hardship to support the long term recovery. As soon as we are running a surplus, we will pay off the trillion plus debt faster than you think due to the spiral effect of lower interest payments. With a surplus we will also have a greater ability to make large capital investments in important areas like cleaner and renewable energy.
