Think I'll go and live in a real democracy where there is real choice, how about er, Zimbabwe
As the saying goes, better the devil you know. All we really know about the tories is what they did in the 80s and 90s. In those days they positively encouraged greed and de-regulated everything. Unfortunately the labour government didn't have the balls to re-instate some of those financial constraints and look where it has got us now. The only thing the tories did do that was good for the UK was to control the might of the trade unions.

I firmly believe that under the Cameron mask that they're all hiding behind, they still believe as Maggie did that there is no such thing as society, only individuals....... and now they rant about broken Britain when it was their policies in the eighties that started the breakdown of society as we had known it in the past.

Our current unemployment was caused by a worldwide recession brought about by the credit crunch which was in turn brought about by greedy bankers selling worthless fluff to each other just to make huge bonuses for themselves. The mass unemployment of the eighties was caused by conservative strict monetarist policies and was accepted by them as a price worth paying......... as long as it wasn't their people (the rich) who were paying it.
