"Until the UK gets a new government that only spends within its means,"
And when was the last golden age of fiscal prudence? Oh yes, 25 years ago. And who were in government then? Apart from a few small blips, the UK has had to borrow since 1970. The sooner the welfare budget is slashed and the introduction of compulsory community work then the downward spiral will continue. No political party, including the Conservatives, will control expenditure. I would vote for a party that will show, in detail, where the cuts would go and by how much. None of them have the guts to do it.
