Labours Living Wage Plan Will Boost Economy - Fairness And Equality

Carl31

Urgh, this focus on wages does my swede in, even a schoolchild must see what this proposal would do

Is this the only language the labour electorate understand? How much £ is in their pocket? Doesnt matter what the purchase power of that £ is, just as long as there is 'more' of it

So..... Labour's 2010 Vote Share is up..... looks like theyre not buying that! As I thoiught! (no point in arguing, study carried out last night! )

Also, only 18% of movers and shakers think Cons will win! Labour's Living Wage Plan will save our economy money and they will now see that as well.

When was the 2013 General Election? I must have missed it.

Labour's lead over the Tories in the opinion polls seems to have fallen from being consistently around 12-15% pts to being around 7-8% pts over the course of a few weeks.

I guess all those savvy, social media connected types have realised that the Tories are starting to deliver on the economy and Labour have consistently failed to produce any policies.

Oh dear.

Sorry but you cant get any more recent than last night! Labour's 2010 Vote Share Up!! YouGov Populus and Opinium will be very interested to hear that their polls are 'rigged!' Anyway, why would they want to do that .... oh right ... they don't have any faith in Osborne or the Cons! Let's see what the Living Wage Plan effect is

Is there going to be a split in the Labour party again. Constant referral to Toff's. This weeks question time.

Luciana Berger MP

Berger was educated at Haberdashers' Aske's School for Girls, a private school in Elstree, Hertfordshire,

A plant as well.

In the run up to the 2010 election, The Independent reported that the Labour leadership had been accused of "parachuting" Berger in as a candidate. According to a television programme by Andrew Neil this is an increasingly common practice in the Labour party where middle class candidates are sent to safe working class constituency with which they have no connection.

Bit behind the times there I'm afraid Labour well ahead - would you like the 2013 Seat Lines as well? Projections out just now.... and next poll will take into account Labour's call for fairness in the Living Wage Plan which voters can see will save the economy money...

This morning’s YouGov poll for the Sun had topline figures of CON 32%, LAB 40%, LDEM 11%, UKIP 12% - http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/

So Generali is correct in stating;

Labour's lead over the Tories in the opinion polls seems to have fallen from being consistently around 12-15% pts to being around 7-8% pts over the course of a few weeks.

I'm quite sure that they would be interested in such an allegation. Who made it? Or is it something you just made up.

You're expecting the government to introduce a Living Wage Plan soon?!?

Average voters maybe, but not canny voters. Canny voters understand the difference between a commitment and a nice idea that will never, ever, be implemented.

Labour's Living Wage Plan will be in manifesto - let's see what effect it has on voter intentions!

Oh PS No Europe Referendum now (Cameron has dumped Europe Referendum Bill) ... just in....

The effect will be zero as it won't be implemented. We can't rely on polls and surveys as you have explained to us on previous threads when the outcome (labour's 2009/10 vat cut failed to stimulate the economy) didn't show what you wanted it to.

So now you're claiming to have some inside knowledge of what will be in the Labour manifesto for 2015?
