Frank from Oxfordshire asked about forming a Government of national unity to help sort Britain's finance out.
David Cameron said that parties should work together on some issues. He said that if there is a hung Parliament then parties SHOULD be responsible, but that he thinks it would be a bad thing.
Nick Clegg said that whatever the make-up of the next Parliament, all parties should form a finance council and that there is potential for politicians to work together.
The Prime Minister said that we already have the business council on financial matters. He said that the key thing is an agreed plan to bring down Britain's national debt. He said we don't have an agreement on what needs to be done this year. Then the PM reasserted his policy in NOT cutting public spending this year.
"It's for the public to decide".
David Cameron promised that if it's a hung parliament, he'll try and make it work. He promised that if he wins an overall majority, he'll try and take other politicians with him. He said, "there is a fundimental disagreement" on the economy. He spoke of needing to rolle our sleaves up now and pay off some of Britain's debt.
He took the opportunity to differenciate the Tory policy on NI from the Libs and Labour.

I believe that Britain is in the middle of a constitutional crisis. We are half way devolved and half way integrated with Europe. We are half way through reforming the House of Lords and Parliament. The English are the victims of tyranny - the last government had absolute power even though less than a quarter of the adult population voted for it and the Scots, who have their own Parliament, set the agenda for England. The crucial issue for Britain is electoral reform and constitutional reform so a hung parliament is a very good idea.
ReplyDeleteTwo political parties have rigged the voting system in the UK so that the other parties are marginalised. Both of these parties are rubbish, one being a club for "mummy's boys" and the other a gang of Marxist lunatics. They have set up the system so that you can choose between bad and worse so how do you vote?
Don't forget that it is the two old parties that have brought England to its present curious state. (See http://pol-check.blogspot.com/2009/01/could-credit-crunch-have-been-foreseen.html)
