OP - YABU - be thankful that we live somewhere (for the time being) where all political parties are allowed to put up election posters and where in the main the elections are free and fair (postal elections in Labour 'strongholds' notwithstanding).
Hunting - I could't care less about foxes and genuinely couldn't give a toss whether hunting them with dogs is banned or not - what I do care about is Labour's stupid, pointless, small-minded, pathetic class war - banning hunting solely because it's supposedly middle-class (cue Tony Banks turning to the Tory benches and mouthing 'that's for the miners' as the vote came in). In my experience the people who bang on incessantly about class are the ones who have none.
Brown is old-style Labour and as such shouldn't be allowed within a planetary diameter of the public finances - in his first Budget he said that 'pension funds in this country are awash with cash' and as such promptly scrapped the tax relief on dividends paid into pension funds. The result of which cost the pension industry £4bn a year, and thousands of pensioners are worse off and claiming benefits that they wouldn't otherwise need to. Pension funds are closing every week, the final salary pension is a thing of the past (except in the public sector, where GB wants everyone to be employed anyway, which means that billions of pounds of taxpayers' money is going prop up public pension funds instead of paying other benefits).
The tax system is now so complex it's impossible to know whether you're paying the right tax, or claiming the right credits. He repeatedly said he wouldn't increase income tax, and then promptly increased NI instead. Well, sorry, Gord, but NI is taken at source and is based on your income. If it looks like an income tax, walks like an income tax, and sounds like an income tax, it's probably an income tax. We're repeatedly hit with tax hikes on fuel, which hits some of the poorest people hardest, on the grounds that it's 'green'. Bollocks - if any of the parties were properly interested in green motoring they'd scrap VAT on hybrids and invest public funds in hydrogen fuel cell technology.
And on the subject of green power, google 'thorium reactor' and then tell me why we're still in the realm of uranium and plutonium reactors (Hint: you can't make bombs from thorium) and those bloody godawful wind turbine forests that cost the earth to build and erect.
What did GB (and Blair before him) fuck up?
The FSA. A paper tiger - stumbling about fining companies for mis-selling a few pounds' worth of payment protection insurance when what they should have been doing is subjecting banks' balance sheets to proper scrutiny.
Pensions. See above.
Law and order. Since 1997 there have been over 3000 new offences brought onto the statute books. It is completely impossible for anyone, police officer, magistrate, lawyer, to keep up with this amount of legislation. What they should have done was simplify the legal system, reduce the number of offences, make the offences that are left mean something, increase the number of sworn officers, reduce the amount of paperwork required on arrest, unify the computer systems so that officers have to enter data on one system instead of three, and get rid of PCSO's.
Bullion. Selling off the country's gold reserves when the price of gold was at a record low. The incompetent tosser should have been charged with malfeasence in a public office for that.
Devolution. We live in Her Britannic Majesty's United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. How come Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland all get local parliaments but England doesn't? Why are Scottish MP's still allowed to vote on issues that don't affect their constituents?
The NHS. Why has my local A&E departmnet been downgraded to an Urgent Care Centre, against the clearly mandated will of the local populace, and had it's opening hours halved, leaving the entire borough without an A&E overnight? We don't need the Tories to wreck the NHS, the incumbent numpties are doing just fine.
I don't know who I'm voting for this year yet - they're all as bad as each other - but it won't be for Labour. They've had plenty of time to fix stuff but have spurned every chance they've had.
