I like the fact that Darling was in theory announcing an election budget and one that was written by Gordon before he changed jobs.
Policy stealing has been happening since politics was invented.
As long as it is beneficial and makes sense who gives a **** which govt. announces and implements it?

| I don't think simply interest rate control has a bearing over the entire economy. It's one blunt instrument that can be effective, and the BoE handled it well, but the Government have far more control than that over the economy via taxation, regulation and other policy.
And I would argue precisely your second point on the role of the BoE. Remember that the tories were rather divided about the whole thing... I saw something the other day about Lamont being all for it but the rest of them were generally against.
