Miliband the Wizard

I'm just surprised he hasn't offered to pay off everyones mortgage using another tax on banks if they win

[amcdonald]

He's going to be beaten by this every time he opens his mouth on the economy from now until the election.

But stupid people will listen and vote labour, never underestimate the power of stupid people, they're how parties get elected

[Platypus]

So far Labour are going to cut taxes, freeze prices and increase benefits. What's not to like!

Exactly - it's an election winning formula.

Oh, and he'll save the NHS again. Like last time. Yay.

Jam tomorrow does win elections because the electorate are too stupid to know or care about the consequences. The Tories should pack up and go home and sit back and see what Labour achieves in say 20 years.

We'd be back in the stone age.

That's true. At least my gas bill will be lower .... even if my O&G shares get hammered.

I wonder if it would be possible to buy this artificially-lower-priced energy and then sell it back to the market for a pain free profit?

Looks likely to happen, probably not with him at the helm. Imagine Harriet the Hoooer in charge making these promises, but on the back of also taking womens rights through the roof, and suspending mens rights.

Free holidays, jobs for all for life, huge pensions and no mortgages. I think its possible you know...

Going back to the OP, nothing would persuade me to vote Labour, mainly because they are by far the worst party economically.

There are many reasons for this, which all go to the heart of what the Labour party is about, and who it is for.

Apart from supporting big business, what do they really stand for (apart from seeking cushy directorships)
