Tory Conferance
The next few years could spell trouble for the Tories. Huge cuts have to be made in public spending. Then there’s the referendum on membership of the European Union, probably in 2017, which cause all kinds of dissent in the party. Meanwhile, the world economy is faltering. This conference, in which the Tories have walked tall, may turn out to be the high point of their Parliament.
Cameron has said that he will resign before the next election, which was probably a mistake as many potential candidates have been vying for position at the conferance trying to capture the 'common' - as it is now to be known- not 'centre' ground.
People earning between £20,000 (€27,200) and £50,000 (€68,000) have been barely touched financially by austerity.
Pensioners, who are guaranteed a 2.5 percent rise each year even if inflation is zero. Pensioners are now, on average, better off than working people.
The biggest cuts will hit the working poor, as their tax credits are reduced. So much for Cameron’s words, “the party of working people, the party for working people — today, tomorrow and always.” It is just not true.
