Will labour lose out next week at the local elections?

Answer 1

I think that they are in for a massive fall in votes , they have not been fair to the ordinary person ,inflicting crippling taxes and as for the persecution of the motorist ,well that says it all.Every motorist is a voter and most have been done for minor traffic offences caught on camera £ 50 a go for a bumper on the end of a box junction . NO they will never get my vote again

Answer 2

I believe we will see a massive Labour loss(sadly) and an even bigger 1 at the next General elections. Media and Tory propaganda and many voters with very short memories will secure a Tory govt, I'm convinced of that. But it will cost the ordinary man a lot. As it did the last time. The only people who will gain are the Fox hunting toffs who couldn't give a stuff about anyone other than themselves, and rich Tory hangers on, who will probably get their dirty little hands on the Nhs. Which will be the worst thing that could happen. Tory govt's of old like to kick the working man in the goolies, and it wont be any different. Thankfully, me and the wife will have paid the mortgage off by then giving our kids a good future hopefully, before the Tory wrecking ball starts to swing.

Its the people who are still paying their mortgages off who i feel most sorry for, as they have many years of hardship and struggle in front of them.

Can i just say to people who admit to not voting that their actions could pay a heavy price on us all. If you want to have your say, on here, in the street, with your friends, voting is a must. People who don't vote, shouldn't be able to pass comment on political affairs. Our first say is within the ballot box. Mick

Answer 3

Yes unfortunately they probably will.
I say unfortunately because despite the usual gripes that people have about how badly things have gone for them since labour came to power, the truth is that for the majority (and thats the benchmark in a democracy) things have got better.

More people have more money to spare than in previous times.

I could go into many aspects of todays society and how it has improved for the majority (like the pensioners cold weather payments and tv licences which the Tory's will scrap altogether). Yet I fear it will have little impact to many people on here.

For those of you fortunate enough to be able to dabble in shares and property investments and long haul holidays and grumble about the loss of funds in your pensions, I do sympathise, but look at it from the point of view of the "Have nots".
The "Have nots" and "Have very Littles" are a major part of our society, yes some of them are there by choice but the majority of them are born into this bracket or forced their by mishap or illness.
For most of these people, life has got a little easier under labour. Even housowners must surely admit that the mortgage rates have never been so low and stable.

So though some of you have the right to complain that this or that is not as good or as profitable as it once was, life is certainly better for many others.

Remember the "Have nots" spent 18 years under tory rule complaining just as much as many of you complain today about labour.

The lib dems had a party political broadcast tonight saying they will get tough on crime. Is this the same lib dems that want to open the floodgates to immigration and reduce the prison population.

The tory's have elected a fresh faced youngster as their leader, dont think for one minute that he is there to stay, he is a more acceptable face to the public then for instance Heseltine.
However, once in power, the tory old guard will emerge (from their sleepy little holes where they have been ordered to hibernate for the present) and recommence to inflict their true policies on the British public.

The pensioners and the "Have nots" will lose out immediately, the motgage rate will go through the roof and the working man will be hammered for ever daring to jeer at the demise of the tory party.

You will vote however you think fit, as is your right, but dont be taken in by parties that jump on the mistakes of a government in power and make false promises that they would have done, or will do, any different.

Sleaze, well that commodity exists in every party in plentiful supply, Heseltine and Westlands, Archer and his libel damages, the sports minister who liked to have his toes sucked, etc etc etc.

Look at the overall good that a party has contributed to the country and then decide, remeber it was the tories who introduced hospital managers and crippled the health service.

Remember it was the tory's that had interest rates of 14% and upwards and remember it was the tory's that took us into the unnecessary falklands war just as thatchers popularity hit rock bottom.

Make your vote wisely but do make your vote.

Answer 4

Sadly, yes. I say sadly because the local councils are run by some very dedicated believers in the Labour movement but they have been let down by the incompetent buffoons pretending to be Labour followers who are in government at the moment and this will reflect on the results.

Answer 5

I would say it is inevitable, as is always the case with governing parties mid way through a Parliament.

Ironically some people, in their misguided attempt to "punish" the Government will end up punishing themselves, but electing into power parties like the Lib Dems who, in local government, have a tendency to be cavalier with council taxpayers money.

Still...you makes your choice, you pays your money!

Answer 6

extremely not likely interior sight elections are approximately interior sight politics, not the politics of the country "as they seem to be a coalition and not a suitable elected government?" sure they seem to be a suitable elected govenment - i think the 1st "appropriate elected" government because before WW2 For the 1st time in lots of years greater human beings voted for them than against them. there have been governments which had much less votes than the competition party. ALL through our 1st previous the post equipment Coalitions are the only way for the destiny the alternative? - A single party in fee? result - basically their rules are applied, irrelevent that basically the minority of the persons voted for them. so which you would be able to have maximum folk ruled via the will of the minority, not democratic i think. think of of what could be occurring in the country NOW if the tories had had a majority. you think of the present rules are actually not any good?, think of what one hundred% conservative rules could have been, or one hundred% labour rules for that count element approximately coalitions is the minority party of the coalition can average the severe rules of maximum folk party. not one of the present rules are one hundred% conservative, yet neither are they one hundred% liberal. you won't like it, yet whilst they have been one hundred% conservative the commonplace human beings ought to now be rioting as a results of their extremes you think of the conservatives with one hundred% administration could enforce rules for the ordinary human beings? - properly think of back cos you stay in dream land - even now there are 27 millionaries out of 29 ministers in the present government. you think of they have a CLUE approximately living the life a "generic" man or woman has to stay?

Answer 7

Yes.Even though it's only a local election,global issues still play a major factor in voting

Answer 8

they could do but maybe alot of people will vote for them again this time because thats who we've been governed by (of how ever u say it) for ages so maybe people don't wnat to take the risk of a party they are less familiar with you know? but i do think there's another perty will a hell of a good chance, but i can't remeber their name =P

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

I hope so, fed up with the lies and them taxing the shirt off people's backs.
