My perspective:
Thatcher in the 80's decided that manufacturing industry wasn't important, so she got rid of much of it. Britain can boldly move ahead with an economy based on the service sector.
In 2008 -2010, the world economy led by the service sector goes totally in the shitter, Britain's debt is 68% of GDP. The individuals that caused the mess either side of the Atlantic get rewarded with bonus's.
Britain doesn't have the industrial or technological infrastructure to sufficient create dosh. Whomever comes out and says the last 30 years have been a long term economic fuck up, puts aside ideology and states that the entire system of government in Britain needs a total overhaul might be worthy of a vote.

Reducing our reliance upon and moving away from industrial and manufacturing sectors hasn't been a bad thing. Both have pretty much turned to shit due to the increased availability of cheap labour, either from those sectors moving to less developed countries or through an influx of cheap labour. It is a disgrace that we haven't pushed and developed the high tech sector more though as that is something we could and should be excelling in a lot more than at present. You can't really blame any of that on any one party though, the Tories started it, Labour finished it and the Lib Dems don't seem to give a toss. |

I don't blame any one of the parties, collectively they have been incompetent. Unfortunately, in politics the truth is the first victim, and next victims are those who have spoken the truth. So why would talented individuals with integrity prosper in politics. A low turnout with a hung Parliament should give the message that none of the three major parties deserve a mandate. There appears to be no perception that a given party will act and reform. |
