Riots in the UK?

[Ashendant]

It's really not a complicated issue... Do you want to be taxed more and have resources spent for you, or do you want to have less taxes and more freedom to spend your money where it best suits you? I'm for the latter, because government spending is much more likely to be wasted, their level of efficiency compared to personal and private spending is pathetic.

It's all about maths, the economy is in disrepair and there are only so many things you can do to fix it, you can raise taxes or cut spending, the torries are about low taxes and low spending, so what the fuck did people expect? Oh no, the party we voted for is cutting spending... Wait, that's what they fucking campaigned on!

People need to realise you either raise taxes or cut spending, because they're the only damn things that are going to affect the deficit in any significant way short to mid term. Why cut spending rather than raise taxes? Because it has both the short/mid term benefits AND a long term benefit in terms of reducing the deficit and increasing economic growth.

And really, borrowing 66% more over 3-7 years, while paying low taxes over the time you are qualified and earning all balances out if not becomes advantageous for the majority of all individuals who will pass their university programmes.

People vote in labour, get unsustainable government taxing and spending, get a welfare state who want to run every aspect of peoples lives. They then vote in the Tories who reverse what labour have done, tax less and spend less, cut services and let the country be driven by market forces then people get pissed off and go back to labour who fuck it all up again. The British voters need to decide what it wants a stick with it. I'll take the Tories, for all their faults over Labour any day.

has there been any lib dem party? that won the elections
