I honestly don't get it, in real life you seem like a nice person, clendrix likes you, and PJM used to boff you
so how can you suddenly act like such a vile, selfish cunt when you get near a ballot box?

Seriously, how is it recovering? You have people actually starving and being forced to rely on food parcels provided by food banks
wages are significantly down on five years ago, and government borrowing has exceeded every single target, except the for quick one he set himself two months ago, and that was some 60 billion higher than the original one.

Yeah but you can't just stop it can you, the debt racked up by labour attracts interest that forces up borrowing again
adverse international economic winds have retarded growth preventing early pay off. The economy is not where they promised, but it is on the right track and needs time. Not profligate labour fuck its buying votes with borrowing

Whatever else happens, the next party will likely put interest rates up, I reckon.
Somebody's got to do it at some point and then we'll see how well this economy's recovering.

I think the interest rates will be pushed up half a percent, and the economy will tank again.
