 Stuart Penketh, Conservative candidate and next MP for Ellesmere Port and Neston, welcomed the news that the country was now officially out of recession but added a note of caution.
"With only 0.1% growth in the last figures which included the period of the greatest amounts of sales in the year, we have to be careful that this growth is maintained and 0.1% is very shaky foundations."
Stuart pointed out that the government now needs to tackle the deficit before the economy heads into a double dip recession.
"With Gordon Brown arguing for greater expenditure* yet his own chancellor argues that the swinging cuts are non negotiable^, Andrew Miller is a government loyalist MP who needs to decide which faction of the Government he wants to support."
Stuart argued that the current indecisiveness of the Government could also affect the economy.
"Investors don't like uncertainties and that is what this government is giving them by the bucket load. Despite Brown's promises he didn't end 'boom and bust'. We are the last country in the G20 to come out of the recession and then be the one with the smallest amount of growth, despite promises we were the best placed to weather the recession. Andrew Miller has some choices to make and make them fast before Brown leads us back into recession.
