what have the current government done that is so unfair to the disabled?0

...because it is
It's not, it's democracy. Gore won more votes than Bush in the 2000 presidential election and still lost. The truth is that people vote tactically in first-past-the-post constituency based elections, so the number count of votes for each party or candidate is completely irrelevant to the result of the election.0 -

The Tories didn't actually win the last election....the Tories haven't actually won an election since 1992. That's 20 years ago.
Well - obviously. Do you think the tories want the libdems with them, poleaxing every attempt to reduce the client state?
They still got more seats (and many more votes) than labour.0 -

They changed the status quo to stop assuming that if you're disabled everyone should automatically assume your useless and need charity.
Many, if not most disabled people, would much prefer to make a contribution (and maybe we could do more to support that) than live on handouts.Having a signature removed for mentioning the removal of a previous signature. Blackwhite bellyfeel double plus good...0 -

So you think lax assessments are a good idea?0 -

indeed plenty unfortunately do, hey why work when you can sit on the settee and receive a free lunch.
Is it any wonder that after nearly all labour govs someone has to clean up. Its a bit like being in Vegas you enjoy big cheap buffets (labour), but you end up full bloated and unfit (the UK 2010), and need to go on a diet and exercise (coalition), everyone prefers buffets over diets but most also appreciate the fat has to be trimmed.0 -
Dubya won in 2000 due to the American collegiate electoral system. It'd be like Britain having EU-election sized constituencies, with each constituency having a number of MPs based on their populations, and whichever party won the majority in a constituency getting all the MPs for that one. Florida went to Bush on a knife edge, and all 25 electoral college members (MPs) they voted in went to him, giving him the majority.0
