The Polls - Labour Lead At 14 - Is It The Economy?

DecentLivingWage

Before we diss all those poor job hunters being turned down for every job, let's just remember - there are currently 5.2 applicants for every job! (Independent today) The polls reflect voters' remaining suspicions about the Cons being traditionally associated with high unemployment (currently relabelled as workfare or self-employed)

Do you really think Ed Balls the most hated man in the Uk would do better. At least the Con Dems are on the right track and remember it was Labour who are responsible for this mess including Mr Balls.

We need Austerity and higher interest rates to re-balance our economy.

All the main three parties deserve a kicking in the polls. Labour were !!!!!!!g attrocious last time round. They failed to deal with the media, the police, the banks, the Americans, the gambling lobby, immigration - absolutely useless, so let's not big them up.

The conservatives just always sell off the family silver and protect the interest of the top 1% and the liberal always talk left and hipocritically act right.

All of them deserve a kicking. None of them had the balls to tax and control the narcotics industry. Science and engineering are still woefully under promoted. All of them just tried to inflate the property market for short term gain to detriment of the younger generation.

No balls, any of them.

Well he'll get his chance for sure, Ukip are going to tear the torys in two. However what's the point if all he's going to do is be a little kinder to those on benefits and not let Murdoch get the odd contract. That's still not enough, we need radical change. He's not looking like he's got that in him. We need a new super city built, the BBC becoming a massive super brand that brings home the bacon, UK business showcased in Olympics style events all over the world every year, first 15k earned tax free - real incentive to work and get off benefits, prolific offenders tracked by GPS. Head camera on police at all times for all working policemen and more importantly than anything else key narcotics taxed to pay for it all and regulated by doctors and not criminals.

How exactly did milliband "stand up" to Murdoch. As far as I can recall all he did was make a rubbish speech about how he would stand up to the media if he was pm, which isn't quite the same.

He stood up to Murdoch in the same way that Hollande is standing up to the Anglo Saxon financial markets.

Everything has become more politicised. It's a feature of left-wing thinking : the right consider politics to be a part of life, whereas to the left life is politics and vice-versa. As the country has become more left wing in it's thinking, so life has become more politicised. Coupled with this is another major feature of left-wing thinking : that the end justifies the means. Morality and truth can justifiably be bent or disregarded if the expected outcome is a politically desirable one. If it were to turn out, as is being suggested in the media, that Mitchell was stitched up as a result of politically motivated left-wing elements within the Police Federation set on damaging a Conservative led government, then it would be completely consistent with these elements of left-wing thinking.

So how exactly does this theory fit in with the way in which young black men are also regularly 'stiched up' by the police and accused of things they haven't done? Is that a left wing conspiracy as well? Daily Mail readers don't you just love 'em! There's a red under the bed around every corner!

Uhhhh ....that would be a yes.Its clear now this govmt has no credible economic plan

I think you'll find the crash was widespread....I don't think even you can make Balls responsible for the world depression!

Did you read that somewhere or is it a conclusion you have come to after a long period of analytical research?;)
