"our pledges don't have to be actually deliverable, because we don't expect to be in power"

 

I suppose at least he's honest.

 

It would be nice to see an equal amount of honesty from the other minority parties - the Greens are coming out with abject nonsense, but they're delivering their nonsense with serious faces as though they have a chance of forming the next Govt. I've got more chance of going on a date with Liz Hurley than they have of being able to wield any power.

Well they are upsetting the far left on here, so must be good!

As said above, a couple of questions but they are on the right track.

And no, they wont be implementing it, as Farage has already conceeded, but they have to put a stake in the ground at some point.

Just utter cobblers.

The tax promise alone is ridiculous. It's 100% unfunded.

And the NHS waiting list? 

These are not credible aims of a serious party.

"Well they are upsetting the far left on here, so must be good!"

No - not upset. Just exasperated - as you would be with a child who thinks 3 + 3 = 117.

These figures are in ADDITION to "efficiency savings" which have already been announced. 

For a forensic breakdown as to why these proposals are nonsense, have a listen to Helen Miller, the Deputy Director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies on The News Agents podcast (from the 5min 55sec point). A woman who clearly knows what she's talking about:

"I think one particular episode of Yes Minister summed it up quite well- it usually leads to an increase in consultants and civil servants to try to oversee the savings programme."

Then it needs a government who will not tolerate such a status quo. One which will challenge the senior Civil Servants whose sole aim is to perpetuate this scandal.

In all the businesses I have worked in it has been for departmental managers to manage change and alterations to budgets. They could not simply hire a load of consultants to show them how to spend less money. That was one of their required skills and if they could not or would not demonstrate it they'd be out.

All the accusations of "unfunded" budgets only consider the status quo. Big changes are needed in this country but governments seem only intent on tinkering at the edges.

By this time next year the elctorate, who have all been clamouring for change, willrealise that a Labour government has no more idea of improving the economy and living standards than the outgoing Tory shower. So who do they vote for next time round?

None of them - absolutely none of them - will take the decisions needed because they are afraid of upsetting one section or another of the electorate. The sort of changes that are required are precisely the sort of ideas that Reform is putting forward. But they are dismissed as "swivel-eyed-loons." 

Well the loons are those people who vote for another load of similar shysters, expecting everything to change just because they wear different coloured rosettes. All politicians are addicted to spending other people's money. It's how they measure their "success." The country would be far more successful if the electorate were allowed to hang on to a bit more of their cash and spend it on themsleves and their familes. Instead they have to watch vast sums being frittered away, month after month, year after year, with no benefit to them at all.
