3,070,621 - Maggie's Millions revisited

In 1982, when the Tories were in government unemployment went above 3 million for the first time since the Great Depression, that was one-in-eight.

I was at university in the North and saw at first hand the devastation that their economic and social policies wrought, and how they ripped out the heart out of so many communities with reckless abandon.

So it was interesting to read a poll saying that so so many people still do not trust David Cameron and his "Toff Street Kids" cabinet, seeing the Tories as the party of the upper classes.

The same poll in the Guardian showed the Lib Dem vote at 21%, and Labour at 29%, clearly showing that more and more folk are seeing us as the party of fairness and social justice.

I suppose that if you want to end the stale and corrupt two-party politics at Westminster, then voting for we Lib Dems is not only the best thing to do, it is the ONLY thing to do.
