If you haven&#8217;t already seen it, go and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpscomputing.com\/blog\/2022\/05\/31\/democracy-4-tax-and-elect-uk\/\">take a look<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we move into term 2 we think &#8216;job done&#8217; as far as the deficit is concerned and move on to other priorities.  However, things are never that simple are they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re popular, but just like in 2009, is it even possible to secure another electoral victory when the economy starts tanking?  Is it possible to still be popular if the major policy of your first term lies in tatters?  Surely the deficit cannot grow to be even worse than it was before?  Is it even our fault?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look for yourself and be the judge!  Find out if we are crashing the economy or if the global economy is meltdown.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pzt0SmUsGvU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to LIKE and comment with your thoughts below.
