to think voting for milliband must happen to save the country

[suziepra]

He will re nationalise the railway , end the bed room tax, increase state pensions, stop the cut and enable employment to grow.

Must not for ed to sort out this mess and stop the nasty torys from making the rich richer and poor poorer

[BetterTogether75]

'Hard choices', eh? Sure, of course we are all in together...

[LumpySpacedPrincess]

I like him, I really do. He is in politics for the right reasons. I think the negative image of him is largely due to the press. I would love to see him in a debate with Cameron and Co.

[ExcuseTypos]

I don't trust many politicians but definaltey not one who stabbed his brother in the back.

[gamerchick]

the point i'm making better is i'm just a bog standard voter.. I don't really 'do' politics, it hurts my head.. just like everybody I know who are other just bog standard voters in the same way. We want to vote but he just doesn't fill you with confidence.

Everybody else who talks about it including my parents votes UKIP who gives me the heeby jeebies.

I want somebody who's worked his way up from a hard life in charge.. they're all rich never had to top up the leccy meter types.

Yanbu
He might be a muppet but at least he's not that chinless spineless duplicitous turd cameron

[arethereanyleftatall]

Yabu.
Your first paragraph are the reasons he won't get my vote.

[maudpringles]

Voting for Labour to save the country....They made a right balls of it the last time they were in power and we will be paying for it for years to come.

[RandomDiva]

Better stabbing his Blair clone brother in the back than stabbing the entire country in the back like the current lot are doing. And like the Lib Dems did to their voters.

[Mumzy]

Every labour government has taken this country into recession. Just saying!

[BetterTogether75]

You gotta be ruthless to be a leader, right?

[WaitMonkey]

I will vote for him. Don't think he will ever be PM though.

[Eve]

Love to know who you expect to pay to nationalise stAte railways & increase pensions?

..... Oh I know.... Probably me, who as both my husband & I who came from work

[LumpySpacedPrincess]

Wow mumzy, so the last labour government took the whole world into recession! blimey!

[picnicbasketcase]

It is amazing how one party caused a global economic crisis isn't it? And yet not a single person who repeats that Daily Mail claptrap can explain how they managed it.

[DontstepontheMomeRaths]

YABU I think he'll say anything to appease voters and win the election. Not convinced half his promises will happen and I too think he's a muppet. Wrong brother voted in imo. No idea who to vote for...

[BetterTogether75]

I came home from work tonight. I even came from a working-class background (if that's what you were trying to say before yr smartphone cut you off, Eve). I seem to be paying for subsidies to go into private companies and the dividends they pay their shareholders, a notable example being the railways. You may be happy to be robbed blind, but I would quite like to own what I am paying for once again.

[TerrifiedMothertobe]

The country is just beginning to recover after tony and his cronies disastrous reign, and you want to go back to labour? History repeating itself all over again.

Just loom back at what maggie did and how it was raped and then again at tony and his war mongering social services free for all.


We still are in the sh1t. Let the economy grow for another 10 years before letting the muppets back in to piss it up the wall, again.

[sinisterfish]

the other night i watched 56 up and some of the then children were talking about where they want to be when they are adults.

one knew at age 7 that he would go to charterhouse, then cambridge then probably be in politics.

these people with such a priviledged backgrounds really do have no idea what problems the average person has to deal with. to them politics is a career path chosen for them from birth.

i would like out politicians to have lived in the real world rather than come from some antiquated small population of planet earth.

until someone who understands what real problems working people have to face i will not vote.

[LumpySpacedPrincess]

Only some people will ever profit under the tories. Even though I may be financially better off under them I cannot stand by and see what they are doing to the poor and the disabled.

[picnicbasketcase]

And that's another thing - people voting for UKIP on the grounds that Farage used to have a job, smokes cigarettes and drinks pints. Like that makes him a grounded, ordinary man of the people.

[Mumzy]

Previous Callaghan and Wilson governments also lead UK to recession. Once is unlucky, twice is careless, third time is incompetence!

[Cuppy84]

Ffs, do you not realise that these cuts etc are needed to help sort out the mess of the last bloody labour government all politicians are as bad as the next at feathering their own nests but at least the country can run under the Tories rather than just be run down by labour. All benefits, services etc have to come from somewhere,afraid it's not out of thin air like some think

[RobinHumphries]

Oooooo I can explain how Labour took us into debt - they had crap ideas like commissioning aircraft carriers, then realising we didn't have the money to pay for them, but not being able to cancel them cos it would still cost too much, then finding out they had got their maths wrong again and they should have cancelled. And don't forget the NHS supercomputer that they threw lots of money at and it didn't work....

[BetterTogether75]

Olympics = 11 billion. Tough choices? Golden Jubilee how much? Universal Credit = really good use of taxpayers' money. 2 can play that game.

[sinisterfish]

ahem can we discuss this without the ffsakes

we once had an industry that the tories put paid to

britain is just run on call centres now, there is no industry left, who to blame for that?
