Does ANYONE really think that Labour have a chance of being re-elected,after the way they have screwed up?

Question

And does anyone think we deserve Gordon Brown as next PM.
Have we not suffered enough?

Answer 1

no i dont think they will win again. hopefully conservative will. or bnp

Answer 2

No matter what government the people vote for, it will still be a blessed nuisance five, six or ten years down the road. The problem seem not so much bad government but more a spiky press and media.

In a democracy, the very foundation of which is based upon a 'free press', the 4th Estate, as we call it in UK, is at first going to be supportive of a new government. In time, as the cracks begin to show, that support will slip slowly away. By the time we get to the ten year line, we've passed the 'sniping' and we're rolling out the big guns and sending broadsides into the government's fleet.

No one is perfect and we're all mortal.

In UK we do not get to vote for who will become PM. If the PM resigns his/her job, there is usually someone ready to take over the role. If Labour hold a party leadership election, then Gord will probably get the job.

Answer 3

Gordon Brown CANNOT become prime minister UNTIL Scotland fall under the laws of Great Britain. Whilst they have their own laws they should not have jurisdiction over ours unless they adhere to THEM too.

Gordon brown will increase taxes to benefit Scotland without Scotland having to adhere to the laws. Tony blair is a tyrant - Gordon Brown is too - having been well trained. DEMOCRACY is gone whilst labour is in power (the present new labour).

David cameron is a trainee blair... 3/4 tyrant with a good spin manager- telling us what we want to hear - but all set to screw us over like blair has.

Lets all vote for the monkey - at least we would have some chance of democracy - even if it is a random chance . Why do you think labour support gambling - because that is what you do when you vote for them - chances of gaining anything is random and the guarantee is that you WILL lose.

Answer 4

Of course they have a chance, do not forget that although the tories beat labour in every national poll except the general election for the last 5 years, Labour still won the general election. They even got more votes.

Now that last sentence is not as dumb as it sounds. Due to the current seating boundries, Labour has a massive built in majority. the tories need to win 41% of the popular vote to Labours 35% to get a majority of even 1 seat. In 2005, labour got 35.6% and got a whopping 66 seat majority. This means that even if the tories get more votes next time, they could still lose the election. Labour can win a majority even with 1,000,000 less votes than the tories.

This huge in-built bias has allowed labour to become utterly complacent, corrupt, craven and incompetent. They know it will take a major and politically earth shattering event to get the tories into no.10. In their arrogance labour could be creating this earth shattering change in the political landscape.

The tories can win, but they will need to electrify the campaign with promises to scrap ID cards and the other wasteful, totalitarian and non workable Government databases, do something about immigration, scrap the human rights act and replace it with a common sense bill of rights that gives the innocent rights whilst punishing criminals, be harsher on the EU. Repair the damage done to the NHS with politically motivated targets, free doctors and nurses to do their jobs without interference, to administer care based only on clinical need. look to reduce red tape and political waste, and split the savings gained between investment in the NHS and tax cuts for all. etc etc.

Actually all the above ARE tory policy. but it will still take a herculean effort for the tories to win.

I shall still be voting UKIP.

Answer 5

Yes... because the Tories screwed up even worse the last time they were in power and I for one will not be giving them a chance to do it again.... but I don't think Gordon Brown will be the next leader of the Labour Party.

Answer 6

Depends on whether Brown actually gets elected leader, I'm not completely convinced that he will yet, not easily anyway- there's still a lot of ill-feeling in the trade unions and the membership about where New Labour's got them, and of course they will all get a say in who becomes leader.

I'd love to see John McDonnell become leader, but I don't know- sort of a wild dream for me really..

Answer 7

If Labour were to get elected again I would emigrate.
Labour before they came to power were always on about Tory sleaze,Labour in comparison are much worse ,what with freebie holidays and feathering their own nests .The shambolic state of most public services ,they have made the last Conservative administration look almost perfect.

Answer 8

This is a little bit like understanding why a wife subject to domestic violence remains with her husband. Everyone knows and says they should leave, but they don't. Think the British electorate have the same mentality, we have reelected him twice now, ok so they said sorry and we accepted it the first time,but then you put them back again! As for the jaw cocking Brown, well they are all Bliars at heart.

Answer 9

Are the other parties capable of doing a better job though? The country's no more f*cked up now than Thatcher's era. We had war and race riots then. I think Labour should stay to sift through their own sh*t rather than hand it over to someone else who could f*ck things up further.

Answer 10

Unfortunately, i think Labour will get in, even with that turd G.B as PM, and I'm sure he will screw us even more than TB. So what the Answer? conservatives, no they are pathetic as is the Liberal democrats. I think we are in the S*** big time, and i don't see any hope for us

Answer 11

Yes they have a chance but...

I won't be voting for Brown and neither will my Mum.

Mum is not voting for Brown because she does not like him full stop. I won't be voting for Brown because if re-elected he will be messing around with my money,ISA, and goodness knows what ever else.
