Leaked Labour manifesto

[d000hg]

Don't worry, you won't be earning anything like £80K, you along with everyone else will be on the dole if that communist rabble were elected.

Why? Also they're not communist, they're barely socialist. Surely nationalisation of core services is merely a centre-left policy, just slightly more left of centre than the drab middle-road positions we've had of late?

Still hopeless, but not communist.

Only when Tory scum are in power, once Labour are in, they will pay what is due.

Still hopeless, but not communist.

Which part? The leadership is clearly hard-left. As a straw in the wind, the Communist Party has backed Corbyn and is not standing any candidates.

Might double his vote.

Has any of you actually read the manifesto?? Can you specify the items you disagreed with??

Sure?

If you were excited by Jeremy Corbyn's election as Labour leader, if you are horrified by the treatment of refugees, want action over climate change or are looking for an alternative to austerity and war then Marxism Festival 2017 is the place for you.

Its on page 3 of this post.

Promising the earth with no way of paying for it, that's the bit of the manifesto I disagree with.

Whatever party is in rule needs to get hold of more money.
Ideally they would do this from the top 1%, big companies etc. who don't pay any tax.
The chances of any political party achieving this is 0, so the smaller guys will be taxed more.

Unavoidable.

I see, so you agree and happy with all their manifesto, but you will not vote for them because you do not know how they will pay for it?

On the other hand you will vote for a party that has screwed us over and over again while giving breaks to big corporate, destroyed our NHS and social care, privatised and destroyed out community services and not to mention our transport ... and on top will run our economy to hault with their determination to destroy our relationship with the EU??

All promises in the manifesto are a given right for all here in Scandinavia, yes higher tax, but a much better quality of life and high standard of living.

How do you know how I will vote?
I personally believe they are all as useless as each other.


On the other hand it seems you are quite happy to vote in an individual that thought Venezuela was an economic success story.
