Document Summary
Pasties are meat-filled pastries that many working class people eat for lunch: there formed the great controversy over the tax that was placed on this popular food item. This issue was eventually turned into a class issue. Cameron"s conservatives and liberal democrats shared power and successfully defeated the labour party: support for the government was plummeting largely because it was adopting strict economic austerity policies. By 2012 it was clear that cameron"s policies were not working and the country was headed for double dip economic recession. The tories are also known as the conservatives: because the country is far more centralized, almost all key tax rates are determined by the national government in london. In america and britain, the great recession dominates political life; there discussion of changing fundamental regimes is no. The official name is the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, or the uk.
