Thread Name: Labour's scorched earth policy
Subject: RE: Labour's scorched earth policy
No Richard, the new coalition government, will spend the first half of it's term in office, undoing all the doctrinaire and idealistic, but impractical things, that the outgoing New Labour government has done. They will then spend the second half building up our reserves, so that the next New Labour government can start squandering all over again.
Remember the mantra of the last government? They blamed everything on '13 years of Tory mis-rule' Why does it sound even more hollow now, than it did then, after 13 years of Blair and Brown?
BTW, I vote for neither party, so don't accuse me of affinities I don't espouse.
