However, what surprised me, was that even where I live and go to school, people were happy with what the Conservatives have done in the past five years (for us), and they are seemingly oblivious to the fact that for my age group, Labour would probably be the best choice (Uni Fees etc).
I know that Labour did play a big part in the financial problems last time, and credit to Miliband for admitting that, but lets not forget that it happened in most countries and I doubt the Conservatives would have done much better.
With the constant Tory propagation about how they've gotten tough on benefit scrounging and how they've 'fixed' the economy I can understand why some might be happy with what the Tories have done over the past five years. As to whether the Conservatives would have fared any better during the 2008 financial crisis...check Hansard! - Compare what Cameron and Osbourne had to say about the crisis, as it was unfolding, and contrast their views against whatever their mantra is now.

Looks like the programme on Thursday night has paid off a little for Labour.
Love reading the comments of Daily Mail readers...It never fails to amuse!
