raiding the pension fund
increasing tax on the average working person to pay for labours failings.
increasing tax on air travel in the name of save the planet

phew, was relieved to see the extra bit to your question, thought you'd gone mad!
Scary thing is, what's the alternative? slimeball Blair or his clone Cameron? argh!
Where's the REAL labour party gone?

The reason for this is most likely because the Labour Party has now developed too many negative connotations. It is a similar situation to that seen in the 90s with the Conservative Party. The trouble is that each and every government is going to be constantly attempting to make up for what the previous government messed up regardless of the party. It is impossible for any government to please all of the people all of the time. Gordon Brown will be the next Prime Minister because there is no better Labour candidate out there at the moment. To be honest there are no real parties out there at the moment either - they seem to have converged and are each trying to tackle the middle ground, TRYING to please the most people.

Yes it has cost the public 100 billion pounds-his raid on pension funds. Once they were the envy of the world but now they have become the worst in the space of only nine years. And he has the gall to believe he should lead us. The man couldn't administrate a creche properly. I think he should be sentenced to do community butlering for either John Prescott or The Beast of Bolsover Dennis Skinner.

Not forgetting the billions he has given to Africa instead of using the money to fight the poverty he has caused in this country!! I hope a) is does NOT become the next leader and b) For the hardship he has caused many hard working Brits whilst throwing OUR money away and rewarding the unemployed and immigrants that he die a slow painful and VERY lonely death!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe that he is very popular in Scotland - a country with a population of four million but only 160,000 net tax payers. Thanks to Gordon, Scotland is financed by London and the South East of England.

Guilt by association. And you left out the price increases of petrol due to taxation.
