Yes they did ..........
Asked if public spending cuts were necessary to help long-term economic recovery,
84 per cent of French people,
71 per cent of Spaniards,
69 per cent of Britons,
67 per cent of Germans and
61 per cent of Italians answered Yes.
In the US, 73 per cent of Americans agreed
The poll’s results point to a fiscal conservatism among the European public that contrasts with the eagerness with which most governments ran up high deficits to protect jobs and living standards as the crisis unfolded.
Moreover, the results suggest that the austerity measures now being introduced across Europe need not be politically fatal for governments as long as they give convincing explanations for their actions

One of the canards that some hacks are peddling is this absurd image of the LibDem activists being horrified by the betrayal of their Party and ideology. The reality is, as anyone who's witnessed some of these characters on the campaign trail, is that they've been so desperate for power they've stooped to some of the worst dirty tricks around to undermine their opponents, so the suggestion that they're all now weeping because Clegg and Co aren't wearing sandals and knitting their own yoghurt any more is laughable. I doubt the majority will want to drag their Party back into the wilderness. If anything they will want to muscle out Labour. But many things will happen before then, so we just can't tell. |

I think Clegg will have been absorbed into the Tory party long before the next general election. He and Cameron are already becoming interchangeable. You can barely tell them apart. |

it's been a long time since I heard that one about unions wrecking the country. But yes-Labour have been disastrous but that's because they morphed into Tories.
