Labour have usually been a 'spending' government and that's the beauty of alternating governments because the Tories traditionally cut spending.
Both either spend or cut too much, so regular government changes tend to mean we get about the right amount of spending v cuts.
Ive never quite forgiven Gordon Brown for ruining all our pensions and selling all our gold reserves at their lowest value to fund his spending promises.
If you look at the debt levels the Tories are the biggest borrowers. Truth is the UK is in a hole and it will get worse as the next crash hits in. The Tories know it is coming and with Brexit making it worse want to extend their stay while they can. Meanwhile the media maintains the Corbyn is inept stance thus making it easier for them.
Corbyn's policies are sublime. With what is coming maybe the Tories deserve to be in charge though. The only problem is that the UK will be done for. It will be too far gone to ever fix again. Yet if Labour get in they still have to mop up the Tories mess. Tories have doubled the debt despite the nonsense austerity agenda that kills the vulnerable and meant the rise of food banks and homelessness.
Tragic.
