Sorry what are you comparing here ? The ERM was a mess up but it did not result in a massive increase in unemployment with the UK now at the highest level of public spending in the entire G20 nations at 56% of GDP with the highest level of borrowing in history that will still need paying off in 30 years from now by our yet to be born Grandchildren.
I know very few people who bother to read newspapers any more and the number that do nationally is declining. You talk about people being easily led into voting out this government, well I disagree. Compared to 2005 the number of people I know who have lost their job and cannot get any meaningful work is very high. These are skilled people from all over the UK including Masters degree qualified engineers, commercial airline pilots and other highly skilled people. Are you really saying that they do not have real issues and should vote this government back in for another 5 years of exactly the same ?
I agree but if you are promised a referendum then it should have been given and it wasn't and that is enough for me to not even look at Labour for the next election with their "You will do as you are told" school master approach to the electorate.
