If labour wins - they'll try to maintain/encourage the current economic climate - which at best would leave the economy stumbling for the next 5 years. If conservatives / Liberal / NF / UKIP or any other party win - Either 1) As above and get blamed for the current climate and get voted out next time - I can see it now Gordon on the back benches wagging his finger. or 2) Flatten the economy, the flatter the better and oh yes blame Labour. At the next general election rant about how much the economy has grown, shouting the "remember the four years of discontent!" But my moneys on a hung government (if only we could hang them) - the process of flattening the economy will be a natural course as each party seeks to do as much damage as possible and blame the other! Leading to a quick general election, as each fight to take the glory! $#!£’s the lot of them – worse than \ / \ / ankers

Story of my life!

Snappy title eh! Something to do while we wait for the houseprice crash to get going! Lately you may have heard that our government has been borrowing a little bit of money.. £140 billion for bank bailout. Source £150 billion for Source Total £290 Billion smackeroonies!!! Following on from the pub last night, assuming the powers that be had just let the banks go pop! And walked in the day after, snapping them up for a bargain (call it a national emergency) writing of all that debt. You now have £250 Billion left Just what could we do with the money and what benefit would it have had on the UK? My budget would be..... - Build 20 nuclear (20 billion) power stations , securing jobs, industrial technology growth, tax revenue and economy growth and the supply of power for the next 40 years - Turned every major rail route into a VERY high speed line (30 billion), power stations, securing jobs, industrial technology growth, tax revenue and economy growth and a world class rail network for the next 80 years - Given big incentives to people buying new cars - £4000 off (5 billion) if they are VERY energy efficient / electric (use the above power stations), securing jobs, industrial technology growth, tax revenue and economy growth. - Given grants to homes to make them more energy efficient (10 billion) securing jobs, industrial technology growth, tax revenue and economy growth and savings for the next 100 years - Invested in a fibre optic nationwide broadband network (10 billion) securing jobs, industrial technology growth, tax revenue and economy growth and savings for the next 100 years - Given large grants to universities, colleges for cutting edge science research (10 billion) securing jobs, industrial technology growth, tax revenue and economy growth and savings for the next 100 years I'm struggling now having only spent £85 Billion! (Mind you every item would automatically over run/spend by at 50% so its realy £127 Billion. - One last thing because we, as a government had done so well with our wise investments we give ourselves a pay rise (1 billion) How would you spend it!
