vote winner or loser

it was inevitable that the party with the biggest leadin the polls and with a following wind would eventually at their annual conference have to deliver some promises of wht they were going to do to get themselves elected.
No suprise that the much vaunted inheritence threshold of up to a £1,ooo,ooo should be first proposed from the shadow government thats full of millionaires.
more suprising is their suggestions and remember folks it is only suggestion that they and more exactly little georgie osborne is proposing the end of tax credits for middle englanders.
Surely this is the sector of society on which they were banking on to propel them over the line and now they are going to end their extra income revenues such as child tax allowances and the £250 child savings grant.
They are also proposing that instead of the state pension age moving to 66 in 2020 it be brought in by 2016 making pensioners put off their retirement and all those contributions to national insurance creating a shortfall that can only be met by pension credits, or are they slashing those aswell.
Osborne said nothing suprise suprise about the unregulated banking system and huge salaries of the private secor but proposed a commitment to freeze public sector wages.These public sector workers include police officers,nurses, teachers,paramedics and other key workers.
So apart from proposing to help the already super rich it seems the toriesare targeting those they were hoping to win them the election ,pensioners andkey workers.
