So anyone want to justify saying the UK will instantly become a 3rd world country or are you just being tory fanboys?
It seems pretty inevitable anyway. Given that their only policy is pissing what little money we have left up the wall, there's sod all spending on our wretched infrastructure, if anyone can turn this country into a third world nation there's no one better placed than McWigglebum4th said:

Are we to assume that the poll isn't going quite as you'd hoped, McW? - at the time of posting, some 75% of cats who expressed the preference think that the UK will be worse under Labour by some degree or other (despite your natty attempt at splitting the 'Worse' vote).I think you'd have to define '3rd world country' - what, like Scotland?
Only joshing. Of course the UK wouldn't instantly become a 3rd world nation under Labour - it would take them at least a couple of years.

So, there it is, at least for me. Thanks, Tories and Lib Dems, for helping me to choose.
As if you've ever voted anything else. 
How do you presume to know who I have voted for? I have for voted for all three main parties.

I think we can write off 2015-2020 we are having minigland and balls!! CMD is determined to stay as tory leader so they will get even fewer votes than last time! It will be about surviving a labour term and watching the torys self destruct and the rise of UKIP ...
Here we go again.Interesting, though, the sort of sociopath that would cheerfully admit to wanting a society to suffer another 5 years of retrograde pain, decay and profligacy, in the belief that the suffering would somehow make the electorate flock to their own polarised political cause.
Imo, Labour should have won the last election, purely to watch them continue with the borrow tomorrows tax money to fund todays useless s
te. By now the whole thing would have blown up in their faces and the IMF would be controlling the place.
Did Labour not start back in 97, with a decent budget surplus and turn it into a massive deficit?
I would predict, Labour will continue with large public spending, giving people money that we can't afford to give and then watch in the future as they can call the Tories the nasty party for taking away all this money, etc.
Personally, if the Tories don't get a move on and start to make decent changes, i'll not vote or spoil it as i refuse to tick the box for the red tie.

Okay how bad will it get after 5 years of labourInteresting, though, the sort of sociopath that would cheerfully admit to wanting a society to suffer another 5 years of retrograde pain, decay and profligacy, in the belief that the suffering would somehow make the electorate flock to their own polarised political cause.
Will it being 50% unemployment, 10000000% inflation, armed gangs roaming the streets, the army ordered to shot to kill anyone seen with a blue tie.
Or
Will it be 5 years of tory fanboys predicting the end of the world while bugger all changes from just now
This is the whole point of this thread or is that too hard to understand

It will be much the same as another 5 years of Conservative or Tory/Libdem coalition.Our problems are so great that there are no silver bullets that will solve them.
Labour may talk about spending more and taxing less but that is purely because they are in opposition and it is politically expedient to do so.
The reality is that they will have to plod the same course of slowly increasing taxes and trying to keep spending increases to below inflation.
Since the beginning of the crisis the vast majority of people have not lost their jobs or seen drastic changes to their personal circumstances. What they have done is consolidate their financial position by paying down debt (credit cards, bank loans, mortgages etc) rather than taking on more.
Eventually peoples personal financial circumstances will have improved to such an extent that they are prepared to spend (and possibly borrow) more. Then we will see growth.
The colour of the tie the Prime Minister wears will have no impact on this.
