Agree entirely

I dont agree with 'everything' with the tories at all - but my vote will go to them this time round based on what i see is the main issue : the economy.

I agree the nhs needs far more money but i dont see how it can be found unless you have a growing economy. I disagree on labours economic plans and Speaking to many business leaders of large blue chip manufacturers they agree they are winning more orders, able to invest in their business, expand, take on more people, pay more people higher wages, now, following the last 5 years then ever under 13 yrs of labour. I see it as more people creating wealth, the more people in jobs, less money out in social and more taxes paid . History has also taught me labours spend/borrow/spend policies failed in the 70's and have failed in the 2000's. Each time the tories came in and mopped up the mess by making very controversial and painful cuts - which eventually led to prosperity again. I also think 13 yrs of labour was damaging more so because of the banks - i think it will take another 3-4 years, following this governments plan, to grow the country to where it ought to be....

I dont expect you to agree - its just my point of view from personal experience (and personal priorities which i totally accept are not the same as yours).

The result? Most likely a minority for the tories or labour ( i think slightly more likely the tories) and an outside chance of a hung parliament....

Not looking for an argument - for sure we all agree/disagree on the points i made above... Just that these are my views.
