Coalition one year on, how are they doing then? - SV650.org

Obviously Clegg proving that his policies are completely unworkable in the real world and siding with the Tories purely to get into power aside, how do we think the Conservatives, sorry coalition government, are doing then? I think Cameroon has made some pretty tough decisions and so far not done a great deal wrong.

Like football its all about opinions, what say you fine minded members of the .org?

Considering they inherited the largest deficit ever, probably not too bad.
We STILL hear about ' broken Election promises*, but since we were technically bust, all bets were off from that day.

The next election will the Tories, Labour and minor parties.

How many of you voted no in the AV referendum, just to p*** off Clegg?
The sad matter of the fact is the co(n)llation pretty much has screwed any are that is working class and left wing (most the North). The Lib dems at the top haven't and probably won't realise that they lost a lot of council chambers (including Newcastle, where the chamber leader was the most out spoken Lib Dem there was, he backed the protests of the councils and the students) that were liked and wanted (labour in Newcastle almost bankrupted the City)

Most did not vote no to P off Clegg, they voted No because AV is a flawed system that would lead to miserable little compromises.

How's the coalition doing? Not too bad in places, terrible in others. Yes budget deficit has to be brought under control. The bloat that is public services needs to be reigned in. But asking students to pay fees of £9,000/year is ludicrous. No way will most be ever able to repay their education costs. Foreign policy is all over the place. We need to stand upto EU and prioritise good for Britain policies and do what the frogs do to bad policies.

Considering everything how it was, and where it was heading - now looking at where we are and where we're heading... I think they've done pretty well.

Still dont seem to have done anything about immigration tho.

They've done what they had to do, they will get the economy healthy again by ****ing loads of people off... Then labour will get voted on and ruin it all again... It's always happened that way.

We sort of knew that it wasnt going to be easy. I think that the ConDems have a very tought job to do, and not everyone will agree, but things have to be done. A very tough job, being delt with in the only way they know how.

I wouldnt want their jobs

Good luck to them.

I votes no for AV as it is more to go wrong

£9K year fees is offensive, seeing you could go to Berlin, Paris or Madrid and do a English speaking course for less than £5k year fees

I think they are doing OK, life is tough right now, but we have to start paying off the debt that Labour got the country into.

I can however see a sh*t storm coming their way if Fuel prices keep climbing...

well seeing that there have been more u turns than a driving test I'm sure there will be a few more before the term is up. I'm waiting for the new polices and cuts to take effect. It could be worse but not exactly better meanwhile calm down dear..
