[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1108120, member: 56232"] Certainly moreso than the current shower. Realistically how much worse do you think it could have been? I am quite tired of proven incompetence / maliciousness being ignored in favour of assumed incompetence. The Tories have 12 years in power and at no point in all of that, through varying global conditions and governments, have they shown anything approaching economic competence. When was the last time Labour showed they didn't have a clue over the economy? Even after the banking crash, we had started recovering and it was Tories who then torpedoed the recovery and set it back by over a year, and when it did return it was smaller than we already had. Brown by most accounts did a lot to lead global action after the banking crash, what have any of the Tories since led on? Even using historical data, the Tories are worse on ever count. More years in deficit, larger deficits, lower growth, lower employment, pretty much every economic measure they have historically performed worse than Labour. So they don't have a good current track record, they don't have a good historical record so what exactly is the basis for thinking they are right now the better option? [/QUOTE]
