swallowedAfly - I don't think the tory tax break for married couples is intended to make those who have lost their husbands/wives for any reason feel bad. I have always seen it as an incentive for people to get together and stay together, which of course every kid would love and probably does help them to have a more stable upbringing than swinging from mum to dad and back again (been there, done that).
Also, re the CTC, the whole point is that we are coming out of the deepest recession known and there is a massive budget deficit at the moment which needs repaying. That money has to come from somewhere and it is entirely sensible that people who don't really 'need' the CTC can do without it for a while whilst the economy is being sorted out. DC has clearly stated that any household under £50k will still get their CTC.
At the end of the day, this country has gone down the pan under a labour government, sorry to say it. Political correctness, immigration, schooling, crime etc. are just examples of this. For goodness' sake, I am Indian (born and brought up here) and I used to be so proud of being British, but now I just cringe when you walk down a street in London and can hardly hear any English, or when you drive through Leicester and see fully clad young girls exiting their faith school. There have been too many concessions under this government, a giving away of our British heritage and history.
If you want that back, if you want to be proud of this country again, the only thing to do is get Labour out.
The Tories are a good bet and have my vote all the way. They are not the same party as Thatcher's was, and will do well for all in this country as well as the country itself.
I am so worried about people, particularly after reading many of these comments, who are planning to vote without the full facts. It's your childrens' future. Or do you want them to be learning English as a second language at school whilst watching the teacher being sworn at and a group of hoodies with knives walking down the road?
