A future fair for all?

treliac

Labour unveils their election slogan, "A future fair for all."

Gordon Brown admits he's 'not perfect,' but he knows who he 'came into politics to represent.'

He asks the electorate to put its faith in Labour and says the party 'must stand up for the many, not the few.'

Quote from Tony Blair on the day he became prime minister, "Today, we are charged with the deep responsibility of government. Today, enough of talking - it is time now to do."

How many believe the Labour party deserves our trust after the last 13 years? And why should we give them any longer?

Agree with all of the above. They would have my vote if I believed their policies were actually helping the masses. I don't think they have done.

Thats the problem I'm not as keen to see Tories elected as some people on here are.

I got a coldcall from the labour party today asking who I would vote for.

Also what was my main issue with their Govt.

Interesting. I wonder if they bypass the telephone preference service. I shouldn't expect to get a call, but I'm waiting for their electioneering on the doorstep.

"A future fair for all" just means giving Labour carte blanche to continue their top-down social policies to interfere with the education system, the employment system etc to implement 'equality', to pass more pointless laws and regulations to the mountain that exist already, to create more public sector talking shops that supposedly improve 'diversity, sustainability etc'.

If you want another five years of rule by ex-NUS representatives from the 1970s, half-baked academics (e.g. Clown himself) and 'professional politicians' then vote Labour.

The Tories are pretty awful too, but they've got a few people that might potentially know what they're doing (e.g. Hague, Clarke, Willetts). I can't see how you can have any faith in the competence of any Labour politician.

Time to give the other team a chance.

Nor am I either and, as I remember it, we felt that opportunity was there if you were prepared to take initiative and work for it. There was still a safety net for those in need of one. Life felt safer and more civilised altogether.

And wasn't the economy in a pretty healthy condition when Labour took over? Apart from the lies, spin and deceit, it's the state of the economy today that worries me - I don't feel it's safe in Labour hands.

Your lucky you didn’t get ill last time nothing like waiting so long for a hospital appointment that you end up being admitted as an emergency before it arrives. Still only had to wait a couple of days on the trolley before getting on ward.
