“If you put a Labour/SNP government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there’d be a shortage of sand”   UK version of Milton Friedman’s famous observation.

“History reminds us over and over again, there is no new way to go broke. It is always too much debt. My conclusion is we are either slow learners or have long term memory issues”   Vern Gowdie

There is no doubt that Ed Miliband will team up with Nicola Sturgeon of the Scottish National Party (SNP) in order to regain control of the UK and complete the disastrous job he started with Gordon Brown and Tony Blair. A quick comparison of Labour and SNP policies clearly shows how a SNP dominated labour government would work.

ECONOMIC POLICY

Labour – no additional borrowing or new spending.  SNP – increase spending.  Lab/SNP Government – increased spending, increased borrowing, inevitable financial crisis.

IMMIGRATION

Labour – more border control staff.  SNP – support immigration that benefits Scotland.   Lab/SNP Government – increased immigration and increased social and infrastructure problems.

TAXATION

Labour – increase income tax and tax on high value properties plus encourage financially independent foreign nationals to leave the UK with increased “non-dom” taxation.   SNP – ditto. Lab/SNP Government – higher taxation, increased unemployment, exodus of high value contributors to the nation’s finances.

DEFENCE

Labour – a “minimum, credible, independent nuclear deterrent”.  SNP – oppose a renewal of the nuclear deterrent and require a larger proportion of defence procurement to be spent in Scotland. Lab/SNP Government – zero action on upgrading or maintaining the UK’s defences in an increasingly hostile world.

THE CONSTITUTION

Labour – a “Home Rule Bill for Scotland”.  SNP – Independence for Scotland.  Lab/SNP Government – break up of the UK.

Greece like Britain is a beautiful country. However, pursuing policies akin to those advocated by Labour/SNP has left Greece in ruins. A Labour/SNP government will bring  financial ruin to this country and will be a vote winner for the end of the United Kingdom.
