Economics

[Quizmonster]

Referring to Ed Miliband’s speech to his party conference, Osborne in his speech yesterday said, “Do you know how many times Ed Miliband mentioned the deficit? Not once. Not once.”
On the same basis, therefore, “Do you know how many times George Osborne mentioned the double-dip recession?”
That’s my question, but I can tell you the answer. It’s, “Not once. Not once.”

Give us a clue. Was it more or less than the number of times than Ed mentioned "one nation" or "comprehensive"?

Politicians have become very sophisticated over the years since the famous Nixon/Kenedy debates - they all now know how important their appearance is and how if they mention words negative to their message it'll be seized on by the press.

Given that Osbourne's economic plan depends on growth which is failing to appear I'll bet he didn't use the "G" word either - doing so would be an invitation to the hacks to endlessly quiz him on a topic he wants to avoid.

These are party conferences, they are playing to the party faithful. Hardly likely therefore that negative things are mentioned, by any party.

He didn't, Jake...use the G-word, that is.

Of course, conferences are just "showtime" but why, Youngmafbog, did the Giddy'un specifically draw attention to Miliband's supposed failure to mention a "negative thing"? In other words, if he expected Labour's leader to do such a thing, why didn't he himself do just that, too? Twisted Tory 'logic', I suppose.

This is really a confusing question for making the answers. But if you give us clue, then it would be easy to answer your question. I hope you will do so. Just waiting for you.
