hi don

I agree with quite a lot of what you say even though I don't and won't vote tory.

I am not extreme and I do try to see both sides of the coin.

There is no doubt that the last Labour reign had it's problems and I make no excuses for them. But is is unfair to blame them all on Gordon Brown. He was not responsisble for the the almost total collapse of the banking systems. That is a world-wide problem.

Naturally Labour and Tory have different policies, otherwise there would be no point in having politicians.

Both parties would attack the problem in different ways. The way the Tories propose to do it is not the way I would have chosen.

But I sincerly hope that the route they are taking is a good one for Britain. It is inevitable that people will have to suffer and I think most sensible people of whatever party would agree that the proposed cuts the present government are proposing will hit the poor more than the rich.

I don't agree with all the proposals but I do agree that something drastic is needed.

I agree that 100 days is too soon to judge the success or failure of the government but as previous governments for centuries have found to their cost; it is easy to make proposals and promises. I await with interest and not a little trepidation on the progress of the government with it's policies for rescuing the Country.

I sincerely hope that their plans can bring some success. To date I have seen only promises and plans but no action. It is not enough to
to just keep on blaming Labour for the "crisis" anyone can do that!!

cheers
