Its a philosophical point: the natural tendency of the tories is to reduce
taxes and bureaucracy to the minimum needed to ensure public order and bare bones public services. The natural tendency of socialist ideologues is to increase it to the maximum to try and enforce equality, or some other social ideal, and create jobs. You could talk ******** for England ! If the Tories had been in power when the credit crunch really hit, do you suppose that they would have let market forces run their true course and allow 2 or 3 of the banks to go bust - or would they have used taxpayers' ( our ) money to bail-out the fat cats ? In a situation such as that, philosophical considerations go out of the window and political expediency comes to the fore. |
