Scrobbesbyrig 422 Posted May 17, 2015 As much as I want to believe the Tories know what their doing, I frankly believe they have as much clue as Labour did for 12 years when it came to business. Though I believe as of right now, the Tories are needed in power (labour & SNP would literally be the fucking last straw for me) I don't believe that George Osborne has the slightedt fucking clue. The only feeling I get from him is that sort of kid who came into school with a big jacket on, ready to sell all his lovely sweets & equipment, selling to the Year 7-9's at horrific prices, but giving them for free to the Year 10's & 11's for free.

Dave 2 Posted May 18, 2015 Tbh there can be debates about it but Conservative's were elected. That's how democracy works, no matter how much anyone disagrees with it. I mean there would have probably been just as much an outcry if Labour got elected. People are fickle and everyone has their own opinion. I'm not saying thats a bad thing, but people were always going to protest no matter what party got in. Also for people complaining about the election system (which I agree, as stated by my earlier post, does not always work) I found out that there had been a referendum to change the electoral voting system, and as a country, we voted no.
