Re: Coalition one year on, how are they doing then?
 

Well-----They havnt sorted out the banks,and they havnt stopped the very greedy rich helping themselves to the contents of the trough.Most of all they havnt got the economy growing at anything like the rate required,if at all.If that is doing ok Id hate to see what failure looked like.

Well they have made tough decisions that labour could never make, labours policy was lets spend our way out of every problem, yes great plan that was.

We shouldnt deter the rich from staying in this country by hammering them on tax either btw, where is the incentive to do well if youre gonna be bent over and shafted with tax just cos you earn more money.

So on the whole i think the government are doing a decent job considering what they took over.
The short sighted people are already forgetting what labour did and complaining about the tory/dems actions.

I think they are doing OK to be honest yes it tough but considering what they inherited..

Like Fizz says, they are going to need to do something about fuel prices as it is really getting ridiculous. I also semi agree with the comments about student fee's. I can understand them beginning to charge students and would actually agree with it but £9k is far too steep.

I think they are making the best of a bad lot, after all, you can only pee with the c**k you've got....

They binned the national identity scheme and that pointless home information pack business.
I'm pretty happy with most they have done, except put up my personal tax, raid my pension, put up VAT and fuel, all to pay off a debt I never took out.

Re: Coalition one year on, how are they doing then?
 

Where have you been?
You need to ask Brown, G ( aka Culpability Brown ) about those:
Personal Tax - he put up every other tax
Raid your pension - nuff said
VAT & Fuel - he was going to put these up anyway ( did he forget to say so before the election? )
Debt you never took out - NO, he did! And we aren't even keeping up with the interest on it. As the proverb says, we're in & it's rapidly getting deeper.

Bankers need their big fat chairs from pulling under them.

Don't care what job you do but how can you justify giving someone an annual bonus which is more than probably 80% of Britian will earn in their working careers is beyond me.

Fuel prices are insane but when you lost all the smoking revenue where else was it going to come from to hit masses of people?

I think the government needs to bring out a new "Luxury Tax" to hit top end vehicles or sports cars to encourage people to go for more fuel efficient cars and to tax stuff like chocolate and takeaways to stop people eating carp all the time.
