Something positive about this government

Thirdly (and most importantly) we are not in the Eurozone, so are in control of our currency.

Secondly, we do not have a culture of not paying tax - yet!

Firstly, we are a much richer country.

We were never going to end up like Greece.

I am trying to post a reasoned reply, but keep being told my message is invalid. Any know why?

Why is my message invalid?

When asked what good things this government has achieved, the only pro-government responses rely almost entirely on rubbishing the opposition. That is apart from the comment that at least we are not in the same situation as Greece - which I think is a meaningless comparison because Greece isn't the 6th richest country in the world and it has a completely different economy from our own.

They have in effect been in power since 2010, as the Lib Dems had little restraining effect on them. Six years of worry and misery for increasing numbers of people, and with hardly any of the promised targets met. And there is more to come. The "jam tomorrow" promises are wearing very thin.

obi sorry didn't see your post amongst all the others. Unemployment is now at 5% The lowest since the crash. However they still haven't got it as low as the period in which Labour held office, so I am not sure it can be classed as a resounding success, particularly as so many of the jobs are zero contract which has risen by 19% this year.

Mmmm, it's a tough one. I'm sure there's something - was it this government that finally got rid of that hate-monger with the hooks (name escapes me)?

I'm with obieone- that we are not in Greece's financial mess and with Anniebach re staying in the EU. I reckon they have a sensible practical approach to the migrant crisis.
Also they have a better financial handle on things than our dratted Scottish Govt!

....I'm still thinking........

Don't hold your breath!

Don't worry. I am more often than not disregarded. I sometimes think my posts are invisible to everyone but me.?

Why are you disregarding mine?

kitty excellent! That's one person.

Nothing yet - I'll work on it, but don't hold your breath!

Yep, under the new pip assessment rules, my son is quite a bit better off.

Anybody got anything! Apart from negatives that is, like not a Labour Government?

Can't think of one good thing.

Nothing springs to mind

..has not been in power ....

This government has it been in power even a year yet - remember the election in 2015? Ask me again in another 4 years.

A more reasonable question might be to ask what the previous coalition government did that was 'positive'.

That it's not a Corbyn government.

That it is not a Labour government

That unemployment has dropped to the lowest lever in decades and we have more people in work than ever before.
