The financial crisis happened in spite of the labour government, not because of it. They should not bare the blame for the measures they have put in place to resolve the situation. We should blame the culprits for the wide range of setbacks affecting almost all of the public in one way or another. We will still be affected long after the bankers and speculators forget any lessons they should have learned. NB I voted against the Trust I worked in becoming a Foundation Hospital, and left when the edicts from the chairman made it difficult to continue providing the best standard of patient care and was penalised for trying to put patients and staff first. Continuing with this policy, was in my opinion, one of labours mistakes. However the quantity and quality of information on government websites is generally a great advance, and line managers not the government are responsible for data security lapses.

The government is there to serve the people, not the other way round. The bankers were able to ruin the country because the government didn't control them. The NHS has been ruined by trying to meet artificial targets set in order for the politicians to tell us what a great job they're doing. They're not. The Labour party don't deserve a single vote when the general election takes place.

We know that the financial crisis is worldwide but Labour's tax and spend policy has made it a lot worse than it need have been. How are they going to pay back the huge level of borrowing - higher taxes...then what? More businesses going to the wall and more jobs lost...then what? raise taxes again to fill the shortfall in taxes and the cost of more people unemployed. You can see where it's heading!!
What they should be doing is to lighten the tax and red tape burden to allow businesses to recover and give the unemployed serious financial incentives to go self employed.

Lightening the tax and reducing the red tape is what Labour tried when they freed up the financial markets, the response of the industry in collusion with the investors was to bring the world to the brink of collapse.
Many many self employed and small businesses already side step income tax and given them anymore freedom would result in the same greed induced actions as the financial industry.
The tories would have sat on any funds that were n the coffers, they would have let repossesions, jobs losses and business closers run rampant and still claimed that they had protected the economy.
What they would have meant was that they had protected the amount of cash they were sat on, their investments and interest rates, at the expense of everything and everyone else.
Like now when they claim that the country was solvent when Labour took over, what they mean is that they, and their supporters, were making very good dividends off their shares and investments, neve4r mind that the unemployement rate was sky high and interest rates were upto 17.5%, public services were cut to the bone and the manufacturing industry had just been destroyed.
The tory version of a sound economy and Labour more realistic version are two very different views.

Out of curiosity I looked at the comments posted re the conservitive party and decided I was not missing much. The discussion on this thread is at least worth reading, even if we don't all agree. However maybe it would be worth while being even handed and rating both parties. Would imagine this would cause the conservative party rating to plunge.

To make such comments about small businesses, the writer has clearly never run one. Small businesses have a really tough time and very many of their proprietors work longer hours and earn less than some of their employees! They are where future prosperity is seeded and need to be nurtured!

I am deliberately not voting when they don't address the fact England has not its own Government so we are run unfairly by unelected uncaring Scots governing with the Call Centre structure that has no discretion so undemocratic. The Leaders with discretion are not contactable so we suffer civil liberties abuse or else allow their admnin could be NF to reduce workload by twisting protocol.

I hated the tories when they were in power and I hate Labour even more. It seems that we swop one bunch of th**ves for a different lot. New Labour are Tories with a different name. They have betrayed the working man and the country.

Why did you give them a good rating since you obviously don't like them??

I agree with David Tennent! "I would rather have a prime minister who is the cleverest person in the room, than a prime minister who looks good in a suit. I think David Cameron is a terrifying prospect. I get quite panicked at the notion that people are buying his rhetoric, because it seems very manipulative to me," – David Tennant talking about David Cameron

Brown is a far more terrifying prospect - have they not learned that out of control borrowing will end in tears?

No Investments, no shares, no over inflated mortgage, use my bank to receive my wages and for nothing else. Pay my way and wish the so called recession would continue forever. Labour have delivered for the working class man and the needy. Yes they have made some stupid mistakes but let me tell you this, if the tories get in, there will be no mistake, they will nail the finances down on the working man and remove all help for the needy. Gone will be "Sure Start", "Cold Weather Payments", "Free TV licences" and a million other benefits. The tories are not intereste in the working man, nor the long term unemployed (that they created under thatcher) that is why they moved many county boundaries under thatcher to create majority controlled tory areas. The call for the end to labour is led by those greedy people who have lost in the recent financial collapse, probably those same people who lost out when their mortgages rose to 17% under the tories and decided to vote labour in the hope of being financially better off. What would the tories have done to stop this crisis? Answer - Absolutely nothing, they would have hoarded the money and protectyed their own wealth and investments whilst the country really suffered. A tory vote is a selfish personal wealth vote, course you knew that already didn't you?

I certainly do not agree! Labour is the party to vote for if you are one of societys takers. As for the rest of us, yeah, sure we will all work harder and longer to support them! What happened to Labours pledge to get them back to work? I have a friend who is able bodied and willing to work but cannot afford to work more than about 18 hours because she would not be able to live! How bizarre is that!

It was the "takers" at the top of the chain and their combination of stupidity and greed that caused the financial crisis, not the "takers" at the bottom. We are all paying, and will do so long after the crisis is forgotten. Gordon Brown is not the cause of this misery, but the public will blame him and vote in the supporters of stupidity and greed.

Posted by Anonymous at 11:16 on 29-Dec-2009

I absolutely agree that those are at the top of the chain are takers too - but us poor old hard working souls in the middle are supporting both those at the top and those at the bottom! Brown & the Labour party are not the entire cause but we couldn't have done any worse if we had a bunch of monkeys steering the ship!

Unfortunately, the ratings only go down to -5. GB must be the most hated man in the country. If Scotland now has it's own Parliament, why have we got Scottish MP's in Westminster?

The Labour Party have overspent to a massive degree and need to get money from somewhere. They can't hit the voter much harder and so they are now going after businesses. As someone involved with a large number of small businesses on a daily basis, I see first hand the damage that they are doing to our future prosperity. Small businesses collectively are more important than large ones. They need to nurture small businesses, not strangle them with red tape and taxes!

As a company specialising in providing premises and facilities for small & start up businesses, we are dismayed at the lack of incentives for starting a small business and the way that the system is stacked against the small entrepreneur. We have provided help for hundreds of small businesses over many years and receive no help ourselves either. Surely, it is only the takers from the system that would vote for this lot!

Just seen Gordon Brown on Prime Minister's questions naming a British commander in Afghanistan and directly quoting what he'd told him about helicopters. I'm sure that when that officer spoke to the PM, he would not have expected Gordon Brown to use his name publically on the floor of the Commons like this. Find it utterly cynical and distasteful too see our PM politicising an individual army officer like this and hope the army makes an official complaint.
