Separate Moan Thread About The Election

Agree entirely. This is my bugbear - for the entirety of my life it has either been Labour or Tories - BOTH have made a complete hash of things; BOTH are responsible for us being where we are now, and I am not about to reward EITHER of them for their failures.

 

106. introduced IR35, a tax aimed at putting small businesses out of action, which cost more to administer than what it collected. It triggered another brain drain and significantly increased the cost of every government contract, because those same workers now had to contract via Labour's preffered big consultancies i.e their chums and sponsors. Thanks Tony for bankrupting my business and putting my employees on the dole.

107. Raided dividends on pension pots, and caused many providers to go bust, thanks Gordon Brown for making me work another 5 years past my retirement to make up.

 

With a bit of luck the nasty party will be annihilated!

Labour are certainly going to win this election, for sure and yes taxes will rise - the worry, for many is that the waste will continue.

 

I suspect it would be the same whichever party happened to be in government. Once again it's successive governments that have kicked the can down the road and not assured adequate investment in infrastructure or governance.

 

And rather strangely, I think that is probably the only thing many will actually agree with on this thread.

 

I did vote Lib Dem - only for them to go into bed with the Tories. To say I as furious, is an understatement.

EDIT - but Mr Davey's connections with the Horizon scandal are more than enough to put me off them for the future.

 

Therein lies the problem we've had for far too long, and the very reason we are where we are. Politicians who really don't feel they have to work for our votes, don't really have to bother doing what we want and need them to do once elected, so do as they please knowing they are Teflon coated and are going to pass the dirty nappy on to the next lot (who will in turn blame the last lot for all the woes) - - we've been voting for the "least worst" option for decades, rather than voting for who is best.

 

I hate to admit but I voted for him, I recall people saying he was a dangerous person which I dismissed, he fooled me to begin with.
