How can anyone support the Labour party?

Question

Labour under Tony Blair has deserted it's core supporters.
It is responsible for a deteriorating NHS despite billions more pounds being spent on it.
It has destroyed the pensions of millions of it's supporters and watched idly by as company pension schemes have collapsed.
Now they , a Labour government, are actually going to give bailiffs more powers to act against the ordinary citizen in order to protect the interests of grasping, irresponsible money lenders etc.
If you try to make a decent home for yourself you can expect a visit from your local council spymasters who will then tax the hell out of you.
There is hardly a day goes by that this shower aren't planning to hit the hard working people of this country with more taxes and invasions of our privacy
Enough is a bloody 'nough.
That's my opinion, what's yours?

Mojo;
I can't believe your comment about NHS dentistry.
Because I cannot find an NHS dentist in my area I have spent over £2000 on dental care in the past eighteen months.

Answer 1

Many above have asked what the alternative is.

There is none.

No other party has ever invented hundreds of new ways to go to jail;
started a war which has turned Iraq in to old style Northern Ireland;
allowed an unknown numger of illegal immigrants to take the jobs of our less able workers;
employed 45,000 Philipinonurses in hospitals so that there is a shortage in the Philipines;
sold off large parts of the NHS to White South Africans and Americans:
had positive race discrimination for civil service jobs against those born here;
allowed the police to become'institutionally racist' and an evil rapid response, gun -wielding organisation based on something out of 'The Clockwork Orange'.

I could go on. and on and on..

All we can do is forget party politics and VOTE tactically.

The tories have no policies because when they announce a policy, New Labour steals it.

Answer 2

Its tru, no one looks at the alternative. You get labour and theres always something there you won't like and then you get conservatives and you'll complain about them, give the libs a chance again and you'l still complain. No one party can comit to a policy that is ideal for every individual. Don't get me wrong I'm not a hard core labour fan, infact I can't see the difference between the party's as they all want to promise me good stuff and it's nearly all the same if not similar. But Labour is ok as opposed to the alternative.

And anyway Labour conservative and libs no longer stand for the individual reasons for which they were formed. Its now all about who gets the chance to come into power and run the show which is why they all go out scouting for votes from everyone they can and try and get them on side and this is why they all sound so similar cause they all want to deliver the same things and each part might have a certain way of doing things but more or less they are all the same or at least similar.

No point winging about it, just vote for who you think has the edge and might deliver the things that are importantt to you.

Answer 4

Actually it has SIGNIFICANTLY improved the NHS with more doctors and nurses and MUCH shorter waiting lists. It has also started to do something about NHS Dentistry which John Major all but destroyed.
It has not destroyed anyone's pensions. It has removed certain tax breaks from private pension schemes.

Baliffs should have the power to deal with debtors - if you don't liker it, don't get into debt.

What council spymasters?

Income tax and VAT are lower in this country than in most of the EU.

So, in short, your opinion is based on ignorance!

****************UPDATE*****************

BARRIE G: Facts not opinions: From a local paper in my area:

"The good news comes as Devon Primary Care Trust celebrates a dramatic drop in the number of people in the county waiting to be allocated to an NHS dentist thanks to flexibility in the new dental contract and the ability to recruit more dentists from overseas due to the expansion of the European Union."

"In 2005 there were 48,000 people in Devon waiting to be allocated to an NHS dentist — that number has now dropped to 11,000. Several new NHS practices have opened across Devon and some have expanded."

Answer 5

The Tories have been large for this u . s .. they have positioned each and every state asset like gas/electric powered/water/sewage/buses/trains and quickly the Royal Mail into foriegn palms. They have been given rid of all coal mines.....yet they have been given their proprietor Rupert Murdock to forged a spell to make us overlook that the Banking device failed right here and international yet that replaced into Labours fault too. quickly Murdock will ask for the favour of the destruction of the BBC that's why he funded the Tories interior the 1st place. yet another funder of the tory social gathering is a tax evader who now has shot back to his tax haven. The bankers who ruined this and different countries have been sitting interior the Tory social gathering convention final week. So specific the Tories are each and every thing we could continuously savour. Their particular spokesman on industry is (DYSON) who moved his finished corporation to malaysia and is an concept to britain. I dont think of we can take plenty greater success than this from the Tory social gathering.

Answer 6

Why??? Because the voting system is unbelievably tribal. The north of england will vote for anything with a red rosette, and the south will follow the pattern with a blue rosette.

The new border changes may make it very interesting, though.

Answer 7

Would you rather be a Tory? Ha Ha i think not!

Growing up in the North East of England tends to mean we lean towards a Labour government up here, but after what Thatcher did to our area all those years ago, it's going to take a hell of a lot to get me to change my mind

Answer 8

To answer your Question not your rant, Public Service job's. They are well payed none jobs with a good pension provision,that the Conservatives holding true to its core beliefs would scrap these job's. Hence vote labour keep my job. I work in the private sector.

Answer 9

The majority of the people above are obviously happy with the state of our country, our illegal war and our young soldiers being killed for nothing, the influx of illegal immigrants and the payments made to them, the corruption in Government, the British traditions and way of life exchanged for votes from the immigrant community.

Do you know what you sound like saying there is no alternative..........................

Labour Party Members.
As for me Iain S has said it all.

Answer 10

It is very difficult but anyone who can remember the previous government would see that there isnt any alternative.
