Pre-election promises are an insult to those who suffered austerity

As in the past, the forthcoming general election is no different regarding good news stories of jobs and investment abounding left right and centre. It makes one wonder, why have so many sections of the community had to endure so much hardship over the last five years?

It appears a new dawn has arrived and the government are trying to give the impression that everything is booming again. The politicians’ hope is that a gullible public will not see through this manipulation and re-elect them.

It is a pity we do not have an election at least every two years, as it would ensure our politicians would shower us with good news on an almost continuous basis and we would never again see a bad day.
