Only Party with a chance of getting our economy back on track! TUC has just confirmed that main reason for economic collapse due to differential between rich and poor. Labour has failed miserably and the Tories... incompetent morons.

Wow. Have Cameron or Brown ever done this?!

What a bullshit, bills are going up even if you reduce less.

@hu444 But what didnt break a pledge that they made, what didnt do was raise tuition fees to £9000

Vince should have been the fucking chancellor, not the pathetic excuse that is Gideon Osborne. He probably knows no more about economics than I do.

Nick Clegg and DOCTOR Vince Cable (yes, he earned a Ph.D in economics!!) are capable of sorting out the economic mess left by Labour and the Tories. The only experience Osborne has in economics is paying his bar tab at his country club. And Darling - he got us into the mess in the first place. Lib Dems all the way! They have my vote.

They are raising the retirement age for a very valid reason, which is the emerging scientific technologies of the 21st century. They think that definitely our generation and perhaps our parents' will easily reach over 100 years old. Thus, how immensely impractical does that make a retiring age of 65 (ish)?

conservative economic seems to be just about balancing the budget without regard as to how it affects individuals eg raising the retirement age so our parents pay off the debt, vs. Lib Dems which address what is in people' pocket and the prices of gas, transport, food etc.

What do Lib Dems think about raising the retirment age.I think its unfair for our parents generation to have to work off the debt by never getting their pension, wheras we the younger generation can prepare for no pension.

They already had my vote. Things like this just put them further ahead.
