Tarquin is right - Labour will win the election, barely

[sasguru]

Utter utter bollox. If that were true, the polls and the election would demonstrate a much larger Labour vote. The fact is, many people (even in public sector jobs) are dyed in the wool Tories who would never vote any other way.

Who?

Doctors will not jeopardise their cosy deal with Nulab.
Senior soldiers may well feel that Tories will spend less on new kit.
Policemen have done very well in pay and conditions under Labour.


Nurses, teachers, council workers are Labour's natural constituency.

No evidence, just putting myself in the shoes of the various groups.

WHS - the police did so well under this government that they only had to have protest marches and threaten to strike over a pay deal, rather than actually strike.


When Jacqui Smith reneged on the pay deal, took it tribunal, lost, and still refused to keep to her word, that was, for those of you who missed it, the police doing really well in pay and conditions under Labour.

I thought policemen cannot strike by law. Or are you saying that the policement have been deprived of their rights, by this law that bans striking ?

Either way, when you join Police, Army etc you know what you get.

What about our astronauts?

What about our astronauts?

They should take out Indian, Chinese or Russian citizenship if they want to have any chance of escaping the surly bonds of earth.

Otherwise, should they wish to remain British, retrain as lawyers or bankers or become MPs.

Isn't it sad that the best jobs in Britain are dull, office based jobs shuffling paper.

Very. Unless you count professional football.

Logic isn't your strongpoint, is it? The only result that would prove your theory would be some proof that a huge proportion of the public sector voted Labour. If labour win, that only proves that (given our crap electoral system) significant numbers voted for them, nothing else - the rest of it is based on pub logic and prejudice.
