Is George Osborne managing the economy well?I guess you mean 1979 and 2010? Also why not vote Conservative? I come from a working class background and have had to make my way in life. I can recognise financial competence when I see it - as you yourself has deduced. The Conservatives have picked up the economy and need to bring it to fruition. Labour, despite saying they had abolished boom and bust, took our economy down 7% - but nobody had their wages and salaries reduced. This 7% had to be made up before earnings could start to rise again.ViewDate:

Is George Osborne managing the economy well?What a load of rubbish! It's the economy that creates the wealth to finance the public services, including the NHS - which is doing a fantastic job. The Coalition has continued Labour's budget for the NHS, plus some - don't be fooled by Labour rhetoric. If anything it is saddled with ill-negotiated PFI contacts negotiated under incompetent Labour, devoid of financial nouse; the biggest privatisation you could imagine; all done with Miliband and Balls in the Treasury. Why did Burnham seek quotations to 'privatise' Hinchingbroke Hospital and subsequently hypocritically criticise the Coalition for simply following through his plan in choosing one of the firms he selected to quote? (Note - not really privatise, just subcontact the management - of which Labour subcontacted 5% of services to which the Coalition have only added 1%) We must keep these incompetents out of government. Labour will always make the mistakes you refer to. Remember Brown and Blair's statement that they had abolished boom and bust? Remember how Labour also left the country in 1979? There's nobody as blind as those who don't want to see. If you want more points - who left less social housing at the end of 13 years in power, than they had at the beginning? Who allowed 4 million mainly unskilled immigrants into the country in their last 10 years in power, undermining the minimum wage, and making no plans for housing, schools and hospitals to cover these people? Want any more?
