Higher minimum wage, lots of stealth taxes, austerity cuts delivered at a slightly slower pace.<br /><br />How do they get away with it?Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074279343472634024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-43456901297575319152015-07-10T09:27:03.280+01:002015-07-10T09:27:03.280+01:00RT.

It will unravel.<br />You wait, GO will start bringing in all sorts of subsidies and reliefs, probably based on geography to 'buy' votes.<br />You have to remember the GO's primary focus is 'politics'. He is economically witless. 90% of what he was doing was 'triangulation'.
