Although it doesn’t feel like it Spring is just around the corner and in May the Prime Minister will be forced to call an election. There is a great deal of dissatisfaction with Gordon Brown at the moment and all polls say that the Tories will win.
This, however, would be a disaster for most people as the few policy proposals the Tories have put forward so far show that they are still in Margaret Thatcher mode, that is they will take from the poor to give to the rich. For example, they will scrap inheritance tax, this will benefit the rich. They also want to give tax relief to married couples. Many people will agree with this but of course the rich will get far more than the poor. And how will the Tories pay for all this? This is not clear except that they want to take £25 per week from the disabled.
On thing we can be certain of under the Tories: the rich will get richer and this will be paid for by taking from the less well off and the disabled.,
