UK Election, Final debate on the economy (Pt.2) Will Gordon Brown answer these points?

UK Election, Final debate on the economy (Pt.2) Will Gordon Brown answer these points?
This is the second part to the QUESTIONS that UK voters need to have answered on tonight's debate: The first part can be found by clicking on this link: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtIBE_Qq2z1UDDGlkyHQCq0KT31G;_ylv=3?qid=20100429022854AA8FVoZ The UK has done that with Europe, Nato, the UN, G7, G20 and many other agreements. This, in turn, has led to the imposition of regulations that govern many aspects of our economy, our criminal and civil laws, environment and trade. The consequent administrative burdens that we, as a nation, now face is so complex that even a minor policy change will require massive scrutiny just to ensure we’re fully compliant. I feel sorry for local councillors, doesn’t matter which party they belong to. They’re trying to serve their local communities, keep costs down and improve the lot of their constituents. But the regulations being heaped on them, almost on a daily basis, is adding to their costs with no direct benefit to their communities and the electorate will penalise them at the ballot box, not knowing that it won’t make a blind bit of difference because the Councillors don’t have the authority to change these laws. Regardless of who gets elected at the next General Election, they are going to be trussed up by these administrative burdens that were nodded through by the Labour Government. So our room for manoevre is severely constrained. Finally, we come to the issue of growth. Where is it going to come from? Remember, this isn’t 1979. As bad as things were then, we knew that major finds in the North Sea held huge opportunities for our Country. We were able to off-load State-owned industries to the Private Sector via a money market stuffed with cash and burgeoning economies in the Far East, Europe and America provided willing custom for these new highly productive industries, now revitalised with Private capital and methods. That won’t happen this time. We can’t go back to the ‘80s, we’re in a very different world now. How about Green jobs? Well even in the rosiest of scenarios, we’re only looking at around 200,000 jobs, all of which will be subject to fierce competition from every Country that is also trying to steal a march on this new technology. In the meantime, we’re likely to lose 3 jobs for every green job created because of the imposition of new carbon trading rules and environmental regulation. Oh, and in case we are thinking that the UK might suddenly get an oil revenue bonanza from a major find in the Falkland Islands, think again. Brazil and other South American countries are not all that favourably disposed toward Britain at the moment and Argentina is now a democracy no longer ruled by a military junta. Our negotiating position is very weak and World trade bodys are far more likely to rule in favour of those Countries than the UK. We may see some revenue if oil is found but nothing anywhere near the scale we had from the North Sea. So minimal export opportunities, no oil, the Consumer flat on his back, massive debts, crippling legislation and huge unemployment with no prospect for jobs growth and the potential for massive social upheaval. How can Gordon spin his way out of this one?
