I think you are being a little hard on Cheese. I see her point: those on benefits are no better or worse off whilst those on an average working wage are worse off with the increase in rent, food and fuel costs.
I have no chip. I believe they are a party for the rich and that they serve the rich and their wealthy puppet masters. If it wasn't for the Labour Government most on here would be earning £3-4 an hour.
People are fooling themselves if they think the Conservatives give a Damn about working and lower middle class. Corporation tax was cut. It will be workers who will end up paying for that. Then the 50% tax rate will go at the next budget. How many on this forum will that benefit?
Lot of anti-labour posts. The USA had a Conservative President and they are in as big a mess. It would be no better had the Conservatives been in power here.
As each day passed the Lib Dems become weaker. The Conservative strategy is to ensure this happens. Then the Lib Dems will take a hammering in the next election and the Conservatives will hope to have an overall majority to form a Conservative Government.
I think they will freeze the fuel duty rise but I can't see a fixed price being implemented by this government. They should scrap the VAT on all fuels.
I imagine Corporation tax will be reduced and the 50% tax band will go. Can't see there being much help for low income families. Public sector pay and pensions will take a hit. Hoping they don't slaughter child and working tax credits.
It would be nice if they set a price of 60-70 pence per unit of alcohol for supermarkets and off-licenses. This should bring in much needed tax revenue.
