Have the Conservatives lost the plot?

Seems to me like they are heading for self-destruction...dusting off Maggies crazy plans from the 80s and guess what .. OPPOSING tax cuts. D'oh

I too was a bit shocked, but what also shook me a bit was that all three major parties were agreeing and nobody was commenting on the fact that they were agreeing.

David Cameron said he wasn't going to keep to Labour's spending plans if the Conservatives took office and neither George Osborn nor David Willets in interviews would say that the NHS or education was sacrosanct. The furthest that George Osborn would go was to say that the Conservatives were 'committed to the NHS.' which isn't the same thing at all.

Labour's response was that the removal of the spending commitment was that there would be less money available for health, education and defence.

Nick Clegg pointed out that the Conservatives, if elected, would be taking money out of the economy, during a recession, just when it is most disastrous so to do. He also pointed out that the Conservative government last did that in the early 1980s. Which was a hugely unpopular and economically disastrous move. It took a war to save them.
