non partisan comment on the European Union and Westminster politics

 

Pie in the Sky

Reported on Sky News The Tories have launched a fresh attack on Government red tape, claiming Labour has introduced a regulation an hour, a target a day and a tax rise a month.

Shadow Chancellor George Osborne unveiled the figures, which showed there had been more than 30,000 new regulations, 3,000 targets and more than 100 tax rises since Labour came to power.

So what will the David Cameron’s Tories do about this, they have already said they will not lower taxes and as most of the regulations are implementing EU directives, will they remove them thus breaking the EU agreements if so they had better start telling us what they would do to raise the money to pay the fines the ECJ will place on the British government. Or perhaps they would prefer to join the Better of out Campaign, more than likely this is just another half thought out attack on the Labour government which sounds good until you get to the bottom line and then you find the Conservative administration would find its hand tied by the EU in the same way that a Labour administration has.
