Why do thinking people ever vote Labour?
They are worse than useless they are criminally negligent.
"Violent crime in the three months to the end of June increased by 6% on the same period last year, according to quarterly Home Office figures."
12% rise in drugs possessions.
trafficking people for sexual exploitation (up 30%)
sexual grooming (up 36%),
1,035,046 violent incidents against the person, excluding sexual offences and robberies.
gun crime was up 6%
In 2004, Labour presided over a "12% jump in violent crime over the past year and a 1% rise in crime overall, according to their latest figures"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/3914289.stm
Accounting for Labour's goal-post shifting, violent crime has risen 19+%?
Home Office claimed the 5% rise in violent crime was not statistically significant.
BBC quotes 7% but Guardian quotes 5%.
I wonder why.

The Labour Party, particularly those from the 'old left', and now, the PC brigade and similar dotty types, seem to be born anarchists, preferring to destroy and knock things down, knowing that the Tory party will eventually put things right, thereby enabling Labour to come back and knock them down again.
Given the performance over the last ten years, and the desire to hand us over to the EU, it beggars belief that anyone can think of voting Labour. Except anarchists, of course.
This is a very big subject, so I have condensed my feelings, knowing that people have an emotional attachment to the party they usually vote for, and not an intellectual one.

I'm not defending labour, nor the rise in crime - but what are other parties planning on doing about it? Crime is an unbelievably complex subject. Of course if other parties have policies on this issue then by all means I'd like to hear them - yet the Tories don't seem to have ANY policies other than "grammar schools are good/terrible" and "foxhunting is good (ish)" (depending on which Tory you ask) - these are literally the only policies I've heard them discuss.
The simple fact of the matter is politicians are either UNABLE to do anything about it, or simply don't care. Either way the best way to punish them at the polls would NOT to be vote for their opponents who would do exactly the same thing, but to spoil your ballot and 'vote' for nobody. If enough people do it then our political masters will see that we are disgusted enough with the political system that we believe NONE of them in their present form are capable of doing anything than spin.

Overall, crime is going down. And whatever improvements they need to make on Law & order, being a government is about more than just that.
I mean... where is the alternative ? Wooly Lib Dems ? Or Jackass Tories, making money for themselves & their mates ?

It makes for horrific reading, but just watch all the New Labour shills defend their precious party, and all the while some poor unfortunate is being mugged or raped.
