But it is important that they understand not only the advantages of a party, but also the disadvantages. Pros and cons.
So here's a quick summary:
Party
|
Pros and cons
|
Tories (Conservative)
|
Believe in a business-driven economy, but for the benefit of the
few. Theresa May called them the “Nasty
Party” when she was Chairman. Recent events show that is still true
|
Labour
|
Labour expect people to pay more tax, for higher spend by government. Sadly policies are counter-productive. Unemployment tends to rise, national
finances get out of control. The
current annual deficit is the legacy of the massive deficit left by the last
Labour government
|
LibDems
|
LibDems have a ‘soft Labour’ background. Key policy is to put 1p on income tax.
|
Greens
|
Great ecological policies. Laughable
economic ones
|
UKIP
|
One issue – the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. That objective was achieved when Article 50
was triggered earlier this year. No
further role.
|
The obvious conclusion from this table is that "None of the Above" deserve your vote. Many people agree with you.
In the 70s and 80s governments tended to alternate between hard-left Labour and hard-right Tory. As soon as the pendulum swung too far, UK voters chose the other party. It was only the introduction of New Labour in 1997 that resulted in three successive wins.
The difference? New Labour was centrist, and tried to balance the generation of wealth with public spending. However the underlying socialist economic policies were its undoing. They had no idea of risk management, and a downturn in the economy soon turned into a major annual deficit.
SO WHAT'S THE ANSWER?
The UK needs a centrist party, somewhat like New Labour but:
- With a strong pro-business emphasis to generate a Thriving Economy
- A more business-like approach to taxes and expenditure
