Independent economic forecasters have predicted that in 25 years our economy will be bigger than theirs.
We'll still be in the Championship....
Osborne has been caught over spinning and under delivering. at least him and Camoron will be gone forever in 49 days time.
Well put it this way they ran up huge deficits and borrowed huge amounts of money to finance their wild spending on public services so it's pretty fair to say that their actions didn't help!
True enough Warky, but many countries around the world were doing precisely that, regardless of being 'left wing' or 'right wing'. The Tories are borrowing more than Labour did, the difference being the Tories aren't spending it on public services.
The countries that did avoid the recession, like most of Africa, a few developing nations, and countries like Poland that had better financial regulations against the banking sector and were not part of the wider international financial system.
In my opinion, the worldwide recession happened because we paid the price for the whole 'spend now, pay later' economy, unchecked greed, and a rampant banking industry. It was those factors, not the ideology of a particular political party, that caused the Crash.

For the purpose of debate though Warky, I'll admit I'd prefer the Labour Party in power. If you offered me a straight choice between Labour or the Conservatives, and I had to pick one, I'd go for Labour.
Out of all the political leaders, Ed Miliband is saying the right things. How much he'd actually implement is another question entirely.
The unfortunate, stark truth, however, is that no political party appeals to me this Election.

Cameron wants a one-off debate with all seven parties. He won't agree to anything else. No doubt Crosby cottoned on to the fact that he'd get completely shown up against the likes of Miliband and Farage. Cameron's a hypocrite. He doesn't dare debate Ed Miliband one-to-one, and he doesn't dare enter a debate with two of Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg, and/or Nigel Farage in a three-person debate, unlike back in 2010, when Cameron was so passionately arguing the importance of televised debates.
As for PMQs, neither one of them come off well in there. PMQs pretty much consists of petty, unfunny comments, on both sides, backed by a load of yah-booing by the toffs around them. More concerned by playing appearances and shutting down meaningful debate than actually governing a country. Absolute joke, in my opinion.
