    Before I answer your question, you cited the ultra left-wing news site huffingtonpost, so the statistic or study or whatever it is, is invalid.

    Anyways, I'm not going to pretend to know the politics on that side of the pond.

    But if I had to guess why they're going into a triple dip, my guess would be there is too much economic regulation/unpredictable regulation, the taxes are too high, the entitlements and national health-care are sending the country into debt, their government is too big, and they're in the EU.

    All of which I've just listed is also the problem here in the United States, minus the EU.

    So it may not even be British conservatives per se. But like I said, I don't know what British conservatives believe.

    Britain's debt and the worldwide recession is driving this triple dip. We are heading for the same here in the states unless we do something. I am not ignoring what is happening in Britain, however I am more concerned about what happens here at home.

    We have the federal government's monetary policy devaluing our currency, we have excessive spending, and do not want to address our debt. Who will pay for this in the long run? Our children. Those that are between 1 year and 25 years will face this burden in 20 years. So isn't the responsible thing to do is cut spending?

    the two, yet to this point, purely Obama's rules are failing. And thank gawd for it despite in case you do no longer understand why. Our financial equipment isn't yet convalescing and not something he has achieved will result this actuality. they have already revised the latest GDP comments down with the help of a few a million/2 and credited it just about fullyyt to government extremely than inner maximum sector spending. the only way we can get out of this recession is that if we, the folk, pull ourselves out of it in spite of all of Obama's terrific efforts. And we could, yet via fact the owner and supervisor of two small companies, i'm no longer likely to do a darned component till I see what Obama and his democrats will unharness on small agency.

    Because it shows an explicit failure of austerity programs.

    Every reputable economist on the planet said that the imposition of austerity would drive nations back into recession.

    "Conservatives", as always, did not listen.

    "Britain's conservative gov" is NOT IMPLEMENTING conservative POLICY.

    I'm still baffled with why you try to link modern U.S. conservatives with conservatives in other times and in other countries.

    Do you even know what "conservative" means?

    Or do you just think anything bad is "conservative" automatically?

    There aren't any cons over in britian, and any that are would be mild as hell compared to the neo-cons over here.

    Source(s): That's not to say that they aren't just that britian isn't any of their concern, and some cons don't even know what britian is or where it's located. just saying.
