Well since the MPS didn't want Ed and got him foisted on them by the unions - you have got to feel sorry for them.

The unions didn't foist anyone on Labour. It was the union members who voted, not the union bosses. David Miliband lost because he underestimated how many public sector workers are pi**ed off by the government cuts and pay freezes. He has paid the price for being a Blair clone and being backed by that unctuous slimeball Mandelson.

You've voted Labour all your life and you don't like the wealthy paying more tax? Hmmm.....

The current system ensures those that earn more pay more tax, hence it is a percentage and not a fixed amount.

So what's wrong with that? Do you think it's only the low paid that vote labour? I've done well under the last Labour government!

Yes, but the 'Labour' government that Blair was in charge of was about as truly 'Labour' as Winston Churchill was socialist.

Polls arent always accurate especially when people have little to judge them on. I'd be worried if they polled 50%, they might try and break up early then

Fine - the union members have the "unelectable" Leader they want. They must be feeling very chuffed with themselves.

I was more than happy with a centrist party. I'm less than comfortable when the party shifts to the left..... and remember I'm a Labour voter. The average floating voter is not going to like this imho.

Labour/conservative, left/right, it's all a charade.

They are just puppets of the banking system and were bought and paid for a long time ago.

It doesn't matter who forms the government. They don't care about you, your family or even the country. All they care about is being elected and keeping their snout in the trough.


Lying thieves.

All of them.

At last, common sense! Nearly true, but not quite. It's the so-called 'centrists' in the three main parties who are the biggest liars and thieves. The only honest politicians are those of the far-left and far-right, because at least they have principles and ideals. All the others are there to be bankrolled by the 'hidden powers' in the British establishment.
