    I think Governments are passengers really. They can do there bit for the economy when needed but the majority of factors are beyond there control.
    But the Tory's can cut public sector debt. So my vote is Tory.

    No brainer really.

    People want a change.
  • Neither party has the "onions" to sort out the mess. The country is in a debt mess that will last for decades.
  • Tory.

    The concept of Kirstie Allsopp as housing minister gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling.:D

    Surely she will only be interested in houses 300,000+ though? Just like her tv show? :D
