Cameron gives his plans on economic policy.

The Andrew Marr show, starts at 21 minutes.

Not a particularly smooth interview, I'm not sure whether that's due to Cameron or Marr. Marr seems to interrupt a lot, Cameron seems to be a bit too excitable.

Marr seems to line up a series of slightly testing questions,but then seems to keen to move on to the next one before he has the complete answer to the preceeding question.

My overall opinion is that Cameron seems to be saying the right things.

I think Cameron was ok today, however, basically what people have to think is do I want Gordon Brown, the walking disaster who has literally fooked up everything he has come into contact with, who takes absolutely no responsibilty for the current situation

or Cameron, those are the only choices people realistically have, has to who is going to run the country and to me after what has happened this last few weeks which is a cumulation of the complete mis-management of the countries finances in the last 11 years, there really is no choice.

And if one line could sum it up it would be this

Brown has managed to crush the economy into dust with interest rates at 5%, a truely unbelievable feat.

It doesn't matter what Cameron says - Basil Brush could win the next election against Gordon Brown

Basil brush for PM

I would vote for him, even though it would mean another puppet is in charge.

His Bank of England bank rescue plan is just a fig leaf for nationalisation. What if it caused the BoE to run into trouble? The taxpayer would have to bail out the BoE.

Not impressed.

Sorry I thought labour were nationalising every bank anyway.

Cameron is trying to have it both ways, by both favouring and not favouring nationalisation, using the BoE as a fig-leaf.

Nationalisation is the only sensible policy to avoid banking collapse, which is what would happen if the free-market nutters had their way. At least if the government would own a stake in any future recovery. This approach worked in Scandinavia.

There is a short term cost that should be offset in future. Even of the taxpayer ended up taking some of the hit (which it won't if you look at the details of the B&B plan) it is better than the alternative.

The B&B plan is the least worst option.

I am surprised their are any labour supporters left. They moaned about the early 90s but labour brings the biggest bust ever :T .:rolleyes:
I suppose at least they will be remembered for something before they go bust.

I still think that we have just one question to ask

Brown
or
Cameron

Brown is like a thick chav, spend all the money he has had, then borrow money and started now to spend money he doesn't have, in the mean time saving NOTHING !!!

11 years of good times (according to him, considering it was all built on debt I beg to differ) and now after all this time, we open the cupboard and there is nothing their, not a single bean. He is a disaster

I think most people accept that no political party as their interests at heart.
It is just a question of getting someone in place who can sort some of this mess out without borrowing more and more.
