Well I have listened to that side of the arguement and it's not enticing me I am afraid
Do you mean the deficit built up by the former Labour government?

While the overall total of borrowing has increased which is inevitable where there is a deficit. The deficit has been reduced substantially.

How much do you think a Labour government would have to borrow to fund the cancellation of PFI projects, cancellation of student debt, free tuition fees, rail privatisation, increased public sector pay etc etc. Probably around an additional Ł700bn. And you blame the Tories for excessive borrowing. Are you having a laugh?

You might have a point about the poor and vulnerable but surely increased benefits means even more borrowing which you seem to be concerned about.

I am not expecting you to vote Tory but merely suggest you keep a more open mind.
