I have this vision of Cameron, Hunt and Co sat in a room working tirelessly on the spin they will come up with to blame the Labour party for the end of the world. Anything but spending their energies on the job of government.
People are tiring of it. Just look at the comments at the end of the article you linked to. They don't want blame, they want good government and when the reaction to any problem is 9 times out of 10 "It wasn't me gov!" I really do think people are wondering just what is the point of a government which has this reaction rather than one that just gets on and sorts it out.
The party faithfull swallow it though, and then regurgitate it at any opportunity.
Truth is, they put their hand up for the job, the recession had hit two years previously, the banking crisis three years, despite pretending otherwise they knew exactly what the problems were before they stood for election in 2010 and they convinced enough people that they had a plan to fix the problems.
Seems they were wrong, there isn't a plan, never was a plan, there is political dogma and a couple of puppets having their strings pulled by the party elite and some very wealthy backers.
I long for the days of Wilson and Heath again, you knew exactly what they stood for and what you'd get and in the main they were up front and honest in their politic-ing.
