Since the global financial crisis of 2008, the UK government has been implementing various policies to combat the recession and stimulate economic growth. This essay will look at how effective the fiscal and monetary policies used since the crisis are in achieving the four-macro economic objectives. In addition, I will provide my input on the best way the UK government can carry out these policies.

Both parties (when in opposition) criticized the other of using the annual budgets as a mechanism to win votes in elections, and not improving the failing economy. For example, Heathcoat Amory’s 1959 budget included a range of tax cuts to boost support; this was in a time when high inflation suggested financial restraint would have been a better strategy. This resulted in higher consumer spending that led to a rise in inflation, and because of this the economy was unstable.

Over the four years from 2009-10 to 2012-2013, Labor had met its fiscal rule of keeping the average spending growth rate to less than 2% a year (Musgrave, R. A. n.d). This was the lowest period of spending growth in 23 years, meaning that not enough money was being injected into the circular flow of income. This reduced aggregate demand as consumer spending was low. In order to ensure that key spending was sustainable, structural improvements were required for the 2014-15 Budget. Overall, the Labor government has left a disastrous legacy of high debt for the Liberal government to try and overcome.

But has the Conservative party actually abandoned Thatcherism? Considering the points displayed in this essay, I have come to the conclusion that Cameron’s ‘progressive’ party may not so adverse to Thatcherism at all. The most important issues over specific reforms raised by the current Conservative Government seem to be highly

Extract B (lines 5 – 7) states: ‘This plan, laid out by the Coalition Government, implies the longest and deepest sustained period of cuts to public spending since the Second World War’.

The conservative party has been in existence since the 1670s and was first called the ‘Tories’, a term used by the Scottish and Irish to describe a robber. This party is a right- wing party which believed in conserving the tradition and the king, as the name entails. David Cameron, the current party leader became the leader in 2005. He is also the present prime minister of Great Britain and he has made a lot of changes since he became the leader of the party. In this essay, I will talk about the history of the party, looking into detail at their gradual changes or transition in ideology and the various changes that David Cameron has made to the party’s image and beliefs.

The many reasons why New Labour under Tony Blair continued Thatcherite policies will be explored throughout this paper. Once analysis of New Labour has been explored, this paper will attempt to narrow the consequences of Thatcher’s policy continuation to confer whether those policies were beneficial or destructive to British political discourse and British society.

Currently, debt held by the public is 78 percent of GDP. Reducing the public debt to the internationally recognized standard of 60 percent of GDP will require enormous changes in fiscal policy. Changes that will likely be politically unpopular.

The UK coalition government started their fiscal consolidation (concentrates on reducing government deficits and debt accumulation, i.e. national debt) towards the end of 2010 when the Labour government’s fiscal stimulus package was abandoned. The first act by the newly appointed coalition government was to cut spending and to increase indirect taxes, which involved increasing the main rate of VAT from 17.5% to 20% from the beginning of 2011. However, increasing tax and reducing government spending have advantages and disadvantages.

In this paper, first I am going to introduce the criterion of verifiability. With the help of the criterion of verifiability, Ayer is able to test whether any sentence has factual significance or not. He then concludes that metaphysical propositions lack factual significance because they fail to satisfy even the weaker sense of verifiability in principle. Ayer proceeds to argue that metaphysical propositions are nonsensical since they neither have factual significance nor belong to the category of a priori propositions. This argument is mainly successful as to eliminate metaphysics from sensible knowledge, except there are two parts susceptible to attack. One may argue that the process of applying the criterion of verifiability to
