Article

David Frum, former advisor to George W Bush, speaks to IPPR about the upcoming US elections. Frum explains that 'US elections are driven by economic fundamentals' and the question will not be 'Romney vs Obama' but 'does the pace of recovery translate soon enough into real benefits to real people' or 'do they look at the Obama years as a wasted, blighted time and hunger for something new'.
