A right pair of cuts
Just a bit of background: we all know that Election 2010 ended in a ConDem coalition government. And probably rightly so. The electorate were disenfranchised after 13 years of Labour and had no appetite for the media unsavvy and mistrusted Mr Brown. Labour were hammered at the polls and needed to lick their wounds. But let’s not forget the Tories massively under-performed and the LibDems lost five seats and took a hit in their percentage share of the vote. Moreover, the LibDems ran on a ticket of carefully managed medium-term cuts with no tackling of the deficit in this financial year. Show me the mandate?
