David Cameron Struggles to Turn Economic Recovery Into Votes
Keywords:
Tags: Current Focus, Britain,
Immigration, welfare and membership in the E.U. emerge as issues in Britain's 2015 election, making it harder for the Conservative party under Cameron to get a majority. Polls show Labor running neck and neck with the Conservative party at 36%, and UKIP at 12%, the Greens at 5%. The Conservatives introduced proposals to make it difficult for E.U. citizens to get welfare payments, but this is seen as not enough action. E.U. rules allow free movement making it harder to curb immigration. Prime minister Cameron has higher personal popularity than Ed Milliband, and is campaigning on the theme of having set Britain on the right path to economic recovery after spending by Labor had increased the national debt.
Britain's Conservative Party 2014 annual conference
09/29/2014
With a prominent defection to the UKIP, British prime minister Cameron now faces the prospect in September 2014 of a split of the right wing vote between the UK Independence Party and the Conservatives, handing the Labor Party a win in the 2016 election. The economy is recovering but working class people in Britain say they are not seeing the benefits of the recovery.

Credibility of elites tested in the decade following the financial crisis of 2008-2009- falling incomes in the U.S. and high unemployment in Europe, and disaffection in local regions such as Scotland
09/20/2014
Policies of Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling in a Labor government increased the role of the financial sector in the British economy and the part played by London as financial capital, only to lead to a near collapse of the banks in the financial crisis of 2008-2009. Brown and Darling are both Scots who failed to see the effects on regions in Britain such as Scotland, already affected by deindustrialization under the Conservative Thatcher government, and now hit by the repercussions of the financial crisis under first Labor and then austerity Conservative government of David Cameron. Irwin faults the elites for failing to grasp the effects of their policies on average working people, the risks involved in an overblown speculative financial sector, and only waking up with the elections for the European parliament and tense moments before the referendum in Scotland.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
