Re: Election
John #89 While not disagreeing with 'The Fact Remains that the majority of Nations that have had a labour or socialist style Government over the last decade or so have massive financial problems.' That is only partly true as those that have had other political parties ruling them or even dictators also have massive financial problems. The U.K. has had a Tory/Lib coalition for the last half of this present decade. I do not think that this government has addressed the problems that created this massive financial problem. The problem was created by very greedy and out of control financial institutions around the World. While the control of some of these people and their companies has been partly curtailed by legislation coming from our own parliament or Europe nobody has gone to prison? The share holders of these institutions seem to have come through the whole of the crisis with their wealth intact and it appears to me to be business as usual. While the other so called 'Stake Holders' of the U.K. economy both the working/middle classes are expected to pick up a disproportionate amount of the financial wreckage/grief. Some people might call this envy I call it anger.

We are surrounded Tonto, Tories to the left of us, Tories to the right of us. Geordie snipers on the cliffs, even being attacked from down under.
Never in the course of history have so many been f...ed about by so few ( or words to that effect ).
Lets open a few more cans before we gallop into the valley of death.

Re: Election
John #95 the main reason for the global crisis was the withdrawal of credit by the worlds largest supplier of that, China. They could see that some countries were so far into debt that they could not even pay the interest let alone the capital. Once credit was withdrawn the whole thing collapsed. So many countries or local business rely on credit that without it they are catcus. Any country if run correctly should be run like a business. by persons who understand finance and the full needs of the populous


Happy daze John in Oz.
