LA notes the debate on the Economy that the opposition tabled yesterday. Incredibly given the recession, the economy has not been the subject of debate since December. It took the Tories to use up some of their allocated Parliamentary time to have the debate.
The Shadow Chancellor headed the debate, Alistair Darling did not show up, he had Yvette Cooper front things for the Treasury.
He was not at any summit, overseas or at any appointment that could not have easily been rearranged, he also had weeks of notice of the debate.
There are only 2 conclusions to draw.
1: The government is afraid to debate the economy as it knows it would become apparent that it is useless.
2: The government has no respect for Parliament, MP's or those people that elect them.
Of course the third option is both of the above.
