Cameron Promises Good Times for U.K. Voters

British prime minister David Cameron “offered a glimpse of the ‘good life’ after five years of economic pain, at Tuesday’s launch of a Conservative manifesto that saw the prime minister break with austerity,” the Financial Times reports.

“With Conservatives and Labour deadlocked in the polls, Mr Cameron made a series of unfunded promises to voters to underpin his claim that better times are around the corner… And he followed a Thatcherite script in his attempt to win over wavering voters, including UK Independence party supporters.”
