The reason the Blair governments got re elected twice was they went lightly on the economy. They kept the much lower tax rates the Conservatives had adopted in the 1980s and in their early years kept public spending under reasonable control in line with Conservative plans. It was only in the later years especially under Brown they overspent, overborrowed and triggered a great banking crash.
It did not however prevent them undertaking serial constitutional harm. They gave large powers away to the EU and imported large swathes of EU regulation. They created the Welsh Assembly and the Scottish Parliament which contrary to their predictions gave a better platform to nationalist parties. Far from unlocking extra growth in these devolved areas Scotland’s growth fell behind England’s and Wales made no breakthroughs. It is true they secured majorities in referenda for these bodies so they will stay in place but that does not make them helpful economically in the way we were promised. More government usually just means more costs and more bureaucracy. They spent a lot of time legislating to ban fox hunting against vocal rural opposition.
This government is even keener on constitutional change. They want to smuggle us back into the high charges and extra laws of the EU through their re set. They wish to give Chagos and Gibraltar away and want to block the Falklands getting out the oil that could transform its prospects. This is all against their Manifesto promises. They want to ban trail hunting. It tried to cancel local elections as part of a package to remodel Councils. It is planning to reorganise local government and create more elected mayoralties. They want to promote digital ID but are still trying to work out how it will differ from the system the government already offers and what it will be used for. They probably want to use digital ID to control our access to public services, just as they want to control our use of energy through smart meters. They are throwing lots of peers out of the House of Lords in a break with tradition. They seek to hound motorists off the roads with road closures, user fees, fines and regulations. They want to abolish trial by jury for many cases undermining a crucial part of our history of personal rights and liberties.
They are also keen on more dying. They are going to legalise killing babies in the womb that could survive on their own. They want to allow assisted suicide. They want to ensure people do not keep packs of hounds.
