Ask the Labour candidate, candidly; "Just why is it necessary for the Coalition to address the massive financial deficit Labour racked up for this country - who was spending money like water and then went on to proclaim 'There is no money left'? Oh er, yes, of course, the outgoing Chief Secretary of the Treasury, Liam Byrne. Dear, dear, dear me. Leicester, abandon Labour, they got us into the mess we're in.....vote Conservative, you know it makes sense. Labour would have increased tuition fees, Labour would have had to make cuts in public spending....except, they would have prolonged the agony, racking up even more interest payments.
