Can A Government Really Impact Upon The Economy?

As many across the UK look at an alternative to the Labour government some are starting to wonder what difference there is between the likes of the Labour Party and the Conservative Party. Are they really able to put their stamp on the economy? Do they really make a difference?



At this moment in time the difference between the policies of the Labour Party and the Conservative Party has never been as small. Labour stormed into power as New Labour and took a slice of the Conservative vote to finish off the Tory party for a short time. But now the Tories are back and the current Labour government is running out of steam and ideas.



Historically Labour has been a high taxation and high state benefits party, or as some might say 'Robbing the rich to pay the poor', but times have changed. The current government has similar policies and ideas to the Tories but the population have run out of patience, they are crying out for change - three terms in office is about the most any party can hope for these days.



In truth there are a number of options and strategies which any government can take to influence the economy a little, but the boom and bust scenario will always be there.
