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

[MulberryPeony]

How is he proposing to do any of that? At least with Cameron I know he knows that I know he's lying!

[LumpySpacedPrincess]

The cuts are hurting the poorest and most vulnerable members of our society, they are killing people. Yet the rich get richer and the people who caused this mess thrive and face no real reprisals.

Big business evades tax effectively while disabled people have their life lines taken away one by one.

The cuts are not targeted effectively, they reflect how the tories really feel about people.

[BetterTogether75]

It's the Tories who are to blame, ffs! (Sorry)

[sinisterfish]

i do think the old boys system of british politics is laughed at by the rest of the world. we must look like morons to uphold it really.

[Cuppy84]

Sorry

[madamabutterfly]

Are you joking? Hell will freeze over before I vote labour.

[Viviennemary]

Labour didn't exactly save the country the last time they were in power so don't think there is much chance of them saving it next time. No Milliband is a disaster.

[RandomDiva]

Cuts were necessary. But not at the expense of the already poor. They could have aimed at getting money back via the companies who avoid tax. They could have done something. Anything. To stop the horrific benefit bashing mentality which now makes me ashamed to be British.

Instead they made it harder for people in need to survive. Many people have DIED because of the cuts they put in place. Killed themselves or starved.

Instead of reforming the NHS they are selling it off. They have done nothing to curb the energy companies. And will stop at nothing to ensure their donors (shareholders, fund managers) get their due by ensuring the can build where they want, frack where they want, and remove rights from workers. Hard won rights. Rights that people died for in the past.

The funny thing is I actually consider myself to be slightly right of centre politically. But there is so much wrong with what this lot have done.

[sinisterfish]

so i assume you vote tory madame why is that? do you not see that most tory politicians aren't really very bright or world savvy?

[madamabutterfly]

People in Africa are genuinely starving. In uk-not so much.

[sinisterfish]

no labour didn't save the country but my life was nicer in their reign.

the tories cut both and my jobs for what? privatisation to keep their already morbidly wealthy cronies happy.

old boys network. still it goes on. antiquated

[HaroldLloyd]

But he talks like the turtle off creature comforts.

[GuybrushThreepwoodMP]

Can't believe so many people are against renationalisation! Privatisation doesn't work! I don't understand how the voters are still convincing themselves that competition benefits them. What would benefit us all is higher taxes, renationalising everything and having a system of public services which serves the public and not the shareholders.
I know he's got about as much charisma as a scrotum but Miliband is also the only one who knows anything about climate change and without sometime who is going to make radical changes to ensure the UK honestly reports and then cuts its carbon emissions, we are all fucked.
Plus David Cameron looks like a giant buttock.

[Thefishewife]

Is this thread a joke if milliband is a our only hope the end is neigh



Any way if the Scott's get there way we will have Tory for an age thank god

[FrankSaysNo]

to think voting for milliband must happen to save the country

hahahahahahaha



I cant vote for Miliband because I dont live in Doncaster North.

OP you need to understand how the election system works

[BetterTogether75]

Do turtles talk? Eat bacon sandwiches? Do turtles pretend to be human beings when really they are lizards? No, wait - that's the Tories...

[Thefishewife]

poster sinisterfish of course life was nice they spent all the money to make it so


Living with in ones means is never fun my bil has a nice life a porche and a big house he is also broke and living on credit like this country

[sinisterfish]

well true our politicians arent very sexy too inbred

[BetterTogether75]

Scottish MPs have not been critical in formation of most Labour govts. I'm not sure who the Scotts are nor how they propose to get their way, or even what that way might be. Are we talking about Terry and June now? Terry Scott was a Tory but I don't want to take this train of thought any further.

[OTheHugeManatee]

YABU. The last two times we had a Labour government they inherited a healthy economy and ran it into the ground. Then it's up to those horrid nasty Tories to take the rap for bringing the country back within its means so that Labour can get voted back in and start being irresponsible compassionate with taxpayers' money again.

I get that this is the standard cycle in British politics and that's fine. But economically we are nowhere near strong enough for Milipede to let Labour back in yet. Those horrid mean nasty evil Tories need at least another term to sort things out before unleashing the compassion of Labour on the country again.

[LittlePeaPod]

suziepra how exactly are they going to do that? I would rather vote for Gromit!

[brimfullofasha]

Yanbu

[BetterTogether75]

Where did the money come from for Trident? The Olympic Games? The Golden Jubilee? NHS reorganisation i.e. privatisation by the back door? Universal Credit, which may well never launch? Priorities, hard choices, live within yr means, yeah right...

[Thefishewife]

And the jokes on here demonstrate why the millibar kid can never really be leader

He looks like he's on work experince and just wondered in

He pretty much looses every priminsters questions and can't really seem to land one

[KnittedJimmyChoos]

It's just a shame that so many people are being put off voting labour purely because they're not keen on Milliband

I think politics is more deep than being put off someone for eating a bacon bap .

Look to Blair and ask why thousands of Labour supporters have jumped ship.
