I see that neither of you has deigned to comment on the speech by Ed Balls( Shadow Chancellor) to the Fabian Society yesterday.
The one in which he accepts the public sector pay freeze(and says that if Labour were re-elected) they would stay in place, that he supports the cuts made by the coalition and that they(the Labour party) could give no guarantees that they would reverse any of the changes brought in by the current government.
Isn't this a tacit approval of the fiscal policies implemented by George Osborne....saying that what the coalition has done to improve the financial position of the UK, is the right thing...without actually uttering those words?

I will understand if neither of you want to comment because your emotions are just too raw right now.
It's a surprise but there's no way Labour can support all cuts.. there have to be some cuts such as the Public Sector pay freeze..but if they back the Welfare and NHS "reforms" then there really would be no point voting for them.
