Two Parliaments of Pain

I discovered a really interesting angle (by accident obviously) on the current predicament we find ourselves in with the UK’s Political and Economic mess.

 

I stated in the ‘5 Becomes 10’ blog (http://stevesmithlive.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/5-becomes-10.html) that the master 5 year plan to restore our economic prosperity is unlikely to be met and we’re looking at probably 10 years of pain not 5 (another 7 years from now) of austerity measures……or are we?

 

Thought #1

We are only 3 years away from a General Election……right slap bang in the middle of the remaining 7 years of the plan.

 

If we stick with the current Government……they will see through the austerity measures. If we go with Miliband’s Labour……they will borrow and invest to ignite the economy and completely undo the austerity measures that we are suffering now.

 

Two vastly different approaches and if Labour do get in, it begs the question what was the point of the austerity measures in the first place and the subsequent pain that it caused?

 

 

Thought #2

Ed Miliband’s Labour are placed 10 points higher in current opinion polls.

 

Thought #3

My tolerance and patience of contradicting political policies is wearing incredibly thin.
