A surprising 34 per cent of voters think that Britain’s interests would “best be served” if the election resulted, as most polls now predict, in a hung parliament, despite warnings that such an outcome would gravely hamper the country’s ability to recover from its economic woes and record deficit. More than half (56 per cent) want one party to win a clear majority.

Labour and Lib Dems being disingenuous on UK Economy
Alistair Darling is set to take official public sector net debt breaking through the £1 trillion barrier. This does not include the £500 billion plus bailout of UK banks and pre-election support for General Motors announced today.
From figures published February 18th 2010, UK public sector net debt was £848.5 billion. (or 59.9% of National GDP) – Source: Office National Statistics
The government has used fanciful growth forecasts of UK GDP growth returning to trend growth of 2.5% per annum by 2011. This is unlikely as even the Prime Minister has stated the UK is still in "Choppy Waters". This leaves the forecast growth rates of 0.6% for 2010 well behind.
This opens up a potential black hole in Britain's finances that implies that actual official government borrowing will be some 50% or more higher than he will announce in this month's budget.
The Lib Dems support this level of borrowing . Both Parties know this situation cannot continue.
BOTH PARTIES SHOULD START TO TELL THE TRUTH.
