David Cameron is kicking off his official election campaign in the typical politician way: making promises he can’t keep and talking copious amounts of smack to his opponent.
Following a visit with the Queen at Buckingham Palace, formerly marking the start of this year’s general election campaign, Cameron spoke at Downing Street where he presented unrealistic plans to boost the British job market and economy, while throwing shade at Labour Party leader, Ed Miliband.
Two million new jobs in the next five years (that translates to 1,000 jobs a day) is the newest promise of economic prosperity that will only lead citizens of Britain down a road of disappointment, since there’s no way in hell creating 1,000 new jobs a day could ever happen.
Along with broken promises, lame insults were another leading theme in Cameron’s speech, as he made claims against Miliband that he would create economic chaos, and that he is unfit to run the country.
According to The Telegraph, this is the first time in 10 elections that a prime minister has personally attacked an opponent during a speech at Downing Street within the first few minutes of announcing an election campaign.
But according to Cameron, this is how we’re going to get “Britain back on its feet again.”
“We have more people in our country than at any time in our history, living standards are on the rise and we are more economically secure,” said Cameron. “Of course, we haven’t fixed everything.”
This was a bold move for Cameron. This is the closest election to happen in history: Labour and Conservative are neck-in-neck for a majority, meaning there will most likely be a Labour-Conservative coalition forcing these two competitors to work very closely with one another. Miliband could very likely be Britain’s next prime minister, and Cameron his deputy prime minister, so he should probably choose his fighting words a little more carefully throughout the rest of this campaign season.
“There’s me, or there’s Ed Miliband: the man who even forgot to mention the deficit, and who opposed every single decision we have taken, every tough call we have had to take, every long term change we have made for our country – he has opposed,” said Cameron. “He still thinks the last Labour government didn’t spend too much, didn’t tax too much, didn’t borrow too much. I say, if you haven’t learnt the lessons of the past, you’re not fit to run our country in the future.”
Over the last five years, the current Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition has created about 1.9 million jobs, but that’s apparently not good enough for Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne to create more jobs than the rest of Europe combined; they want to achieve a “full employment” goal.
It’s unknown if Cameron and Osborne are aware, but having a true full employment economy would be less than ideal, since that would send inflation through the roof.
“The choice is simple; we go back to square one, and the days of big unemployment, or vote Conservative and finish what we have begun, with two million more jobs in the next five years,” said Cameron. “We are the jobs party, and over the next month, we will be fighting for every man and woman who wants to work and earn a wage.”
