Once Labour get kicked out things will return to sanity.

Do bear in mind how the media does like to massively overblow and exaggerate everything though.

Unfortunately I doubt it. That's exactly what we all said when we kicked the Tories out.

I disagree on that. I would have much preferred the Tories to stay in, but with a strong leader. John Major wasn't that person. He was a lame ineffective duck, just as Brown is now.

At least taxes are very likely to come down under Tories, less smaller government, less needless waste etc. Maybe they'll get rid of some of the things Labour have put in place like the regional assemblies, minimum wage, endless tax credits etc

Kick the ruling party out every four years and things may get better.

Unfortunately I doubt it, the government is always in power.
