If anyone can shed a light on this topic. Please post. I'm totally bored by the party line now. As devoid of any substance.

Labour's economic policy can best be described as Jam Today (but for goodness sake don't mention the gruel tomorrow)."When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson0

I have heard it's
Borrow, borrow, borrow, spend, spend BUST
I can hear Ed Balls singing along in the bath lol0 -
I am not sure they actually know themselves, and therein lies the problem?Dont wait for your boat to come in 'Swim out and meet the bloody thing'

They will pass an act in parliament to abolish boom and bust first0
-
Their policy, just like other parties, will be whatever their masters tell them.0

They don't have one.
Go on the Labour website... nothing.
Tories, Lib Dems, UKIP, BNP all have policies on theirs. Labour, not a sausage. This is why it worries me so much when I see the poll results; forecasting a Labour win. If this government did collapse, they'd romp home with no idea what to do; the public are lapping up the rhetoric, even though there's nothing behind it.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0 -
Of more relevance is the Tory position, as they are the ones with the fingers on the levers, I thought it was to remove the deficit in this parliament, I must have got that one wrong.Thrugelmir wrote: »If anyone can shed a light on this topic.

A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

You have. Budget deficit was never going to clear this parliament.
So next General Election will be more of the same. Has been since 2010.0 -
If Ed won an election tomorrow I think he'd have a heart attack given how little policy he actually has.
Labour have claimed time and time again that the government is cutting too far too fast however, the IFS have stated that the current spending retrenchment is slower than even Labour proposed!
They have no policy other than trying to score cheap political points and maintaining the slide towards mediocrity.0 -
The same as any party, ever, in the entire history of politics.
"Say the opposite of what the party in power says".
When someone else ends up back in charge, Conservative policy will be
"Say the opposite of what the party in power says".
That's what politics is.0
