He did rule it out. And I agree Archangel, they will get together a) for the good of the country b) to provide stable government in times of need.Archangel wrote:Did Miliband rule out a alliance with the SNP?
I am guessing this is just tactical are the SNP are scaring people to vote Tory. Also SNP are hovering up a lot of Labour voters
Of course once the election is over and Labour need the SNP , they will get together for the "good of the country"

They didn't spend too much, they only nearly bankrupted the UK, they didn't quite achieve it. Let's give them another chance. They failed in the 70's and during their reign in the 90/00's so I'm sure they will give it a bloody good try this time around.tweebie1999 wrote:Whatever happens it's going to be a mess.

first thing Ed Balls would do is call Mark Carney and tell him to fire up the printing presses! remember that with Labour it's public "investment" not spending!!Euler wrote:If they do another debt binge then they can probably well and truly finish the job this time.
I was being understated in saying I was worried. I was a schoolboy in 1976 when Labour took us to the IMF for a loan. The once mighty Great Britain cap in hand to the IMF! Then we had to go through the Winter of Discontent because inflation was so high Labour had to bring in a wage freeze policy. The unions didnt like this and there were public sector strikes. Even gravediggers took their shovels home. That was the working man against Labour. The moral of this is you can do nothing to help the working man with a broken economy.Euler wrote:They didn't spend too much, they only nearly bankrupted the UK, they didn't quite achieve it.

No gold to sell off at historical lows though, not pension tax, no booming economy. If they do another debt binge then they can probably well and truly finish the job this time.
