  The next Government will not be making any new spending cuts in the UK by the time G. Osborne has completed his time, because there will be no UK spending left to cut.
  
  The only spending cuts that could still be made will be the salaries of ministers and Government officials.
  
  It's a mathematical certainty that if you cut State expenditure any further than already decided by the Coalition, the State will come to an end and organised Society will fall apart.
  
  We would have no Army, no Police Force, no councils, no postal service, no road repairs....and no street lighting.
  We would return to the Dark Ages

  the cuts to councils have had the most effect - other cuts have been relatively mild.

  Howard.
  
  Your right there.
  No longer can the figures be hidden, it is a fact that the poorer and most vulnerable sectors have been hit the most.
  
  Not only have they suffered the most, they will be the last to recover.
  
  Those that have been hit the hardest are NOT the 1% of benefit cheats but 99% of genuine honest British Citizens and I don't see any hope for them, even with a new Government, not with Meercat Milli in charge.

  Alexander
  I do hope you can catch up with world affairs soon.
  
  Even Barryw will tell you, the co olition is a long way from finishing with the cuts.
  likely to be 2018-2020
  This cobbled together are cutting much slower than barryw would like to see, and borrowing is high

  The fact is as follows:
  The Coalition got in 3 years ago inheriting a £750 billion public debt;
  they cut massively wherever cuts could be inflicted;
  they are planning more cuts for periods that go beyond their 5 year mandate.
  
  When the next Government gets in to Parliament, they will find a public debt much higher (currently topping £1 trillion);
  they will find that there is no Government spending that can be cut any further;
  they will be therefore in a predicament by far worse than what G. Osborne found in 2010.
  
  The next Government may also have to bail out the private pension funds and inherit their liabilities too.
  
  In short, G. Osborne has stated that the economy has just been wheeled out of intensive care.
  Yes, Dr. Mengele!
  
  It is now hanging in the butcher's shop.
