Opposition and Conservative Party Leader David Cameron, has recently unveiled plans to re-establish the British economy . With the May 6 national election looming, Cameron called on the UK population to take control of the country's financial direction by highlighting the need to reprimand lawmakers who have broken the rules and to harness public services which continue to 'under-perform'.

 

Comparisons have of course been drawn between Cameron's approach and that of Kennedy's government, where the Opposition leader reportedly pleaded: We don't just want your votes. We don't just seek your support. We seek your active participation every day, in every way in the running of our country. The concept itself, encourages citizens to question the government's public spending and the power to refuse increases in local tax .

 

The economy and UK finances as a whole remain one of the hot topics in the lead up to the political debates and eventual election . The economic recession of the last eighteen months has taken its toll on countless British families; with a reported drop in employment resulting in one point three million people being laid off and the subsequent repossession of fifty thousand family homes. The country's spiraling debt has made the issue of public spending a contentious yet ultimately inevitable outcome of the election for all parties.
