Economic pitfalls
IT doesn't seem to dawn on Gordon
Brown that people expect the
ruling party to run a productive
national economy - and they
expect to benefit from it.
The way New Labour has run
the economy only benefits the few.
Take our schools and hospitals.
Many hospitals are now paid for
by the private sector - the only
companies which are making
money from our improved national
economy. The people who use
them have to put up with everreducing
standards, ward closures
and services moved so that they
have to travel further for
treatment.
Schools are large and
impressive, but business says they
are not turning out the educated
people it wants.
The national housing waiting
list stands at 1.6 million and still
Mr Brown blocks councils from
building new houses, but promises
that more houses will be built. His
fear is that more houses will bring
the prices down further and make
more vote for other parties.
