Which coalition do you find more palatable?A904lea, we will have to agree to disagree on this one. Of course the Australian and Canadian economies are smaller than our's but the principals are the same. As for Gordon Brown being praised, yes, of course he isn't all bad but generally his time in power was a time of financial incompetence, incontinence and lies. 'no more boom and bust' what a pathetic claim and what a pathetic lie. A disgrace!ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?Gordon Brown! Do we have to use his name here? He, together with that person Blair, were probably the worst apology for a Government that the UK has ever had.ViewDate:

Which coalition do you find more palatable?I agree that Labour didn't cause the Banking Crisis, but there is no doubt that Labour dealt with this crisis very poorly indeed. Our ex Colonies did much better, Australia and Canada, to name two.ViewDate:

Which coalition do you find more palatable?No, I don't think I influence the younger members of my family much. If asked, I explain my point of view and try to ensure that they understand the basics of the economical arguments. Without a proper economic policy the UK will fade into a Greek farce. Most of the youngsters understand that at least.ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?I am replying to your post below. Here, there is only a choice between Conservative and Liberal. Labour are a distant third rate alternative. As for facts and choice, there is a very interesting, unbiased, and informative article in today's Times, it is by the economist Paul Johnson and is well worth a read. You can get it on the www too.ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?Got it in one janetann. This nation has people who think they are owed a living and are quite content to be paid in benefits. This should not be possible. Those who refuse a job should only be prevented from starving by being issued with food vouchers. The agricultural workers who come here for the harvests are not afraid to bend their backs and their capability to do so exceeds that of our own relatively unskilled so-called workers. We cannot blame the farmers for employing those who can do the job best? We can, however blame ourselves for a generation or two of people who simply do not know how to work and they don't need to, do they? There are always benefits. Don't get me started! Oh, you already did!ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?Slip of the finger there, I meant I disagree with the other parties MORE.ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?That depends on your, and my point of view. As it happens I think it is good even though I do not agree with everything the Conservatives want. I suppose I disagree with the other parties less.ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?Yes Nicola won that night but remember her insistence that An independent Scotland would keep the UK Pound. This would mean that Scotland would remain subject to the Bank of England regulation of their currency, where is the Independence in that??ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?Yes, and when your party breaks up the UK and you go away, will anyone notice?ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?Quite right. We need to balance the Economy. After that good things can follow. If we fail to balance the Economy we are heading for very hard times, and even worse ones for our children and grandchildren.ViewDate:

Which coalition do you find more palatable?I know I am not answering your question but then we are talking politics so I am in good company. I favour a Conservative win. Failing that I prefer a Conservative/Liberal coalition. A distant third is a Conservatives/UKIP coalition. I hope we can keep Labour and the Scots out of it. -
