David Cameron today branded the Labour party hopeless. Do you agree? If so, why?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=WR55RQRZFRMRTQFIQMFCFGGAVCBQYIV0?xml=/news/2007/12/30/ncameron130.xml
David Cameron has branded Labour "second rate" and "hopeless" in key policy areas and vowed to offer the public hope in 2008 with his vision of Britain.
He attacked Gordon Brown's mismanagement of the NHS, his acceptance of mediocrity in education, and said the streets under Labour have been surrendered to violent criminals.
The Tory leader used his New Year's message to step up the pressure on the Prime Minister who enters January hoping to put a torrid three months behind him.
In contrast Mr Brown's message predicts a gloomy New Year as the country battles "global financial turbulence."

Yes I do.If people want to know why their NHS services have been hit, they need look no further than Gordon Brown. His financial mismanagement means that most of the extra public money spent on the NHS has been squandered, and it is the patients and the hard working staff that bear the brunt of this.Remember "Education, education, education", which was the famous mantra of Tony Blair? He who promised that his Government would transform the quality of British schools.? Gordon Brown promised exactly the same driving commitment.!! "Education is my passion," he announced in his first days in office.All the reliable evidence shows that far from driving up standards, the Labour Government has actually presided over a worrying decline, particularly in the basics of literacy and numeracy! A decade of Labour rule has left far too many British pupils illequipped for the world of work, without essential skills or knowledge.
The Criminal Justice System has become a joke in the 10 years or so since New Labour came into office.I could go on,but why depress myself even more!
Mr Brown and his Ministers are intellectual midgets leading this country down the plug-hole of ruination. Its about time for major change and this useless New Labour government thrown out......lying, deceitful, arrogant, incompetent, useless and hopeless!!!!!!!!

probable the tip of latest Labour, however the Labour party in recent polls have already seen a upward thrust in help via 5% to 34% while in comparison with the Conservatives on 40 3% and Lib Dems on 15%. each and every of the applicants that are status for management of the Labour party have realised that various the authoritarian stuff that New Labour did replaced into incorrect so i think that sure, the hot Labour you observed under Blair and Brown is probable going to be over.

FT leading article this weekend says that Labour's 'initiatives' are no substitute for policies. And that some proper thinking, instead of tinkering, is needed on our clapped-out education and health systems.
If Brown hadn't sold off UK gold reserves at half price, and turned the surplus he and Blair inherited into a huge national debt, then we would now be able to cope with 'global financial turbulence'.

i just don't think they have the people competent enought to do the job. the don't have a clue what to do when things go wrong. they are totally out of touch with the people and seem to be like a child trying to put a square peg into a round hole. they are concentrating more on smearing the conservatives than trying to sort out the very real and very obvious problems that we have in this country. they fooled us once with Blair so shame on them. lets hope they don't fool us twice, it really will be shame on us.

Yes.
BUT a Conservative government would be about 10 times worse.
I'd rather trust Brown who was Chancellor for 10yrs and brought about economic stability rather than some toff Eton bastard who has no experience of anything and is just a floppy grinning ****/ All tories hate him.

No Labours not hopeless, they face up to their governmental difficulties and always have done. A Conservative government would be catastrophic.

Yes, I don't believe anything that they say, and I am appalled by almost everything that they do.
Despite this, many will continue voting for them, because, although unable to explain why without resorting to name calling, they simply can't bring themselves to vote Tory.

The government may be totally inept,and I doubt anyone is going to argue that one,but it pails into insignificance compared with the opposition who should be tearing it to shreds but can only come up with the odd populist comment which could be obtained by any vox pop in any town anywhere

yep they really are hopeless, but more than that they are selfish, greedy and totally insensitive to the people they say they serve.
