It is predicted that the United Kingdom is on course to become the economic power house of Europe by the year 2030. Apparently the British economy will overtake that of France in the next few years, and will then go on to overtake that of Germany.
These predictions are based on current trends which may or may not continue in the future. For example, there is no reason at the moment to think that the Labour Party will not form our next government. Also, the socialist government which is currently ruining France may not be in power much longer.
Some readers might think that David Cameron and the Tories deserve to continue in power after the next general election if we are indeed on course for economic glory, and it is certainly true that the most recent figures for the British economy are impressive. The claimant count for October fell by 36,700 to
1.27million. At this rate, the claimant count could be eradicated within
just three years.
Nevertheless there are many people in this country who are struggling financially, and that includes working people as well as people on benefits. Food banks are opening every week as more and more people risk starvation in this supposedly wealthy country.
I have no problem with the British economy growing under any government, but I will never vote Conservative, and neither will anyone who cares about people not having to starve.
