    The problem is that voting Blue Labour is the same as voting Conservative. It reminds me of the end of Animal Farm, where the animals couldn't tell the difference between the pigs and the humans. Labour has betrayed its constituency.

    How can you be so sure that you know all the facts to make an informed decision based only on past actions of a party? Surely some of the principles a party stands for, as likely indicators of future actions (which is after all what people should be voting for, you vote for a party you think will do well in the future), are just as important?

    I don't think that's true. There are some important difference between the red and blue, and even if New Labour are purple rather than red, they're still the party with the closest match to my principles.

    I don't disagree with you SGE1

    But details that I won't go into because very few would be interested .....the small things (to you and others) are the reason why I will never vote labour...ever.

    LOL :rotfl:This board makes me laugh. All the Tories sharing their opinions and articles from the Daily Telegraph. I wonder if the average age of this board's posters is as ancient as the Tory membership...:rotfl::rotfl:

    Who do you intend voting for in the next general election? I'm curious to know if anyone is actually going to vote LABOUR!


    Other -- If you read a certain parties stuff and read through the rubbish, then they do speak sense..

    I see you have the typical lefty respect for free-speech! (Presumably you get along fine with the racists and mysoginists in the Respect party though.)
