Thats one of the most defeatist post I've ever read on this forum.

Can you tell me some lottery numbers then, as you seem to know for sure that if the Tories win, interest rates will automatically rise to 15%. You do know Thatcher left in 1990? So I can't see how this is relevant to what might happen in the future. The same can be applied to Labour, they learned from their mistakes back in the 70's and didn't (dare) repeat it in 1997.
