Lib/Lab/Con all vote to NOT cut Britain's rising EU contributions

[-:Undertaker:-]

So when you hear David Cameron on the television harping on about how we are 'all in this together' when he cuts your child benefits, when he cuts your school budgets, when he and his government increase university fees - just remember, he's talking absolute and utter nonsense. So the Conservatives plead how we have to make difficult decisions yet they vote this through, the Labour Party contends how damaging the cuts will be yet votes this through - and as for the Liberal Democrats who pledged before the election they would not support increasing university fees; they voted this through (which is a total waste of money) yet are now supporting increasing tutition fees because 'we are broke' - how much longer are we all going to fall for this trio of self-serving professional con-artists?

Yet again the Conservative Party spits on the country and its own supporters, yet just like lemmings they keep quiet.

Do you have faith in David Cameron and this coalition government to deliver the cuts in the right way?

I do, yes.

[Ajthedragon]

I also do. Rather Tory cuts than Labour, theres always a hidden twist. I have faith in this government.

[Conservative,]

I have faith...I mean Gordon brown was chancellor then pm and look where we are, anything is better than that. And I think the lib dems will make the cuts fairer

[AgnesIO]

To your question..

Yes I do - more so than some of the other parties talked about a lot on here.

[Mathew]

Yes, I do have faith in the Tory government. The problem is that I don't think they will have enough time, in the 4 years that they're in "power", to do enough.

Everyone over the age of 18 has the right to vote and a large majority of those people don't understand politics. The media is to blame. People see that cuts are happening: child benefits and EMA under threat for example, and they obviously shove the so-called "blame" onto the Tory government. People fail to realise that these cuts are for the best, to get rid of the stupidly large debt that the pathetic Labour government have left behind for the Tories to tidy up.

In which case, in 4 years time, Labour will be voted in again, because they spoon-feed citizens and give people what they want, rather than trying to get rid of debt.

Agree 10000000000000000000000000%

I actually follow politics, mainly because I have no life and have nothing better to do...but I find it interesting. I understand that we NEED cuts, because otherwise the country will be bankrupt, everyone will become unemployed and chaos will reign.

It is stupid how everyone, the media, Labour Politicians, and ordinary people bash on the Tory-LibDem Government for doing the right thing. Labour say they wouldn't do this, but then offer no alternative solution? And considering 35 (or there abouts) of the countries top businessmen (ie; huge supermarket/bank/company executives) have backed these cuts, surely they're doing something right?

The gap in the budget is so huge thanks to Labour, and the Tories have to try and fill it, but then, inevitably in a few years time during the next election, will be voted out because scroungers who sponge of the Government don't like the fact that the benefits for their "bad back" have been cut by £5 a week, or people with no clue of politics think "we're losing money, lets get Labour back". Then Labour will once again waste all our money, and when voted out, the Tories will once again clean up, and there is a certain pattern forming no? - Labour spend, Tories save?

Imo, Labour don't know how to save money...if their Leader, who was their chancellor - the guy in charge of all the money can't make decent decisions about the budget...then I doubt anyone in their party can.

Well then why aren't we putting our country and our citizens before others. Why should be the budgets for the EU and foreign aid continue to increase while our own people feel the cuts harder. I'm not denying there needs to be cuts, that would be stupid, but the UK needs to come before anyone else. It's our taxes and it's our money. Cuts are coming but they're not coming in the right places.

Another example, the number of quangos is being reduced, but we still have a stupid amount of unaccountable quangos such as the "Potato Council" wasting public money and deciding how we live our lives.

[GommeInc]

Yes to question, but I disagree with the rising EU contributions. The Coalition Government are tackling the areas where money is wasted (e.g. benefits) quite well. They'd be perfect if they slashed any further funding for the EU, which is a debt maker, not a debt breaker

[immense]

I laugh at the above few posts who claim people don't understand politics and what is happening in their society... yeah, I'm sure they won't understand when they lose their job, have child benefits slashed and to top it off are unable to put their children through higher education. I don't have trust in the Lib/Con government, no. There are alternatives to what they propose.
