You've never had it so good.

VAT in most EU countries is over 20%. Only Cyprus and Luxembourg have a standard rate lower than the UK's 17.5%.

Your taxes are low under Labour. What's to complain about?

Don't worry, if labour retain power, that'll soon change.

And what excuse can they use? If the Tories win they can use the old 'once we saw just how bad the books were, we realised that immediate drastic action was needed, more so than we anticipated during the election campaign'.

What will labour say? 'Ok, we lied. Again.'

I don't think that any party should have more than 2 terms.

Tories went too far on 3 terms, let alone 4.

Labour have gone too far on 3.

I'm voting to prevent the extreme swings, from whatever party.

So all your flag-waving means booger-all to me.

HTH.

In the current state of the world economy, it is necessary to take firm and immediate action in order to preserve our position, established since 1997, as one of the most successful and secure of the world's leading economies......blah blah blah

Tarkers is right as usual. You've never had it so good as in the last 15 years. And if you haven't made money it's your own bloody fault.

WHS.

You have to make (big) money in the boom, cos you sure are going to pay for the bust whether you benefitted or not.
