Leon,
What a great picture. And a good point.
Benefits for those that need it, absolutely with you there!
Melchett,
You are, of course right, but I really don't believe that this government will pull the plug on either. I can see them reducing numbers. That said, it may depend on how much they can save in cuts; their promise to kill the deficit for a second term could well override other considerations. Dave may not be staying for a third term, but the party will want too. Failing to balance the books a second time would not look good in five years time!
