Fantastic heart warming news

It's up to you at the end of day. If you want to carry on in the fashion of the last 11 years, then don't vote Conservative.

I don't, but sadly, the majority of those who vote do. I cannot imagine of any atrocity that the nuLieBore regime could commit that would get what is left of the British voter to throw them out. Even if it was technically feasible to do so; they would change to rules to eliminate that possibility.

i knew you were a guardian reader really.

I like to know the (warped) mind of my enemy.

[DiscoStu]

Then you are blind sir.

New Labour:

Reduction of civil liberties
Huge growing tax burden
Mushrooming of the public sector and civil servants
Destruction of family values and encouraging single parent families
Using Human Rights laws to protect terrorists and criminals whilst ignoring the needs of victims and law abiding.
Attacks on small business and entrepeneurs
Encouraging uncontrolled immigration, especially non-EU. Zero border controls and zero effort to root out illegals and deport them
Emphasis on victimising motorists
Keeping the poor poor and dependant on state handouts.
Nanny state mentality with thousands of pieces of disjointed and poorly drafted legislation.



Conservatives fundamentally do not believe in and will not follow this path.

Blimmin heck, first I'm agreeing with sasguru, now with DP too.

... Labour will stay in power following the next general election.

Yes, I think you are right. The polls are just a serious mid-term kicking.

I dont see any difference between the parties.

This has a lot to do with it, but mostly it's the ledged of their previous time in office persisted by the leftie media.

I really don’t see much chance of change and recovery until there is a serious collapse in the economy.

No, there's clear water between their core principles. Two problems though - Tories can't develop and sell their own good ideas because NL will simply adopt them as their own (as they already have done, of course) and Cameron has to hold a public persona he may not actually believe in in order to win over Joe Sunreader, who is the real driver at the next election.

Plus, of course, the finances are in such a total mess and the NL legacy so deeply damaging that there is no room for manoeuvre in core policies, so we're stuck with the NL approach for a while to come.

Labour in freefall as Tories open up 14-point lead

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2...9/polls.labour

It is shedding support on all fronts, including to the Conservatives, who are on 41%, two points up on last month's Guardian/ICM poll.

Labour support, at 27%, has fallen seven points in the space of a month and is the lowest ever recorded in the Guardian/ICM series, which began in 1984.

My only regret is that Blair didn't stick around to face the music and have to deal with the humiliatoin of loosing to the tories.

There may be some useful tinkering around the edges, but that is as much as can be hoped for

If I were Cameron I'd vote labour and stay in opposition.

It's hard to see how public spending could be tackled without creating high unemployment. How for example can you undo paying a GP something like an eight and a quarter of a million pounds a year? Can't be undone. The only solution may be to rip off the poor and increase immigration, i.e. continue with labour policy.

[DodgyAgent]

No: Labour will lose, the Tories will get in, and it will not get better, although some diehard Tories on here will insist that it is better, regardless.

Alternatively, everybody will be too chicken sh*te to vote outside their comfort zone, and Labour will stay in power following the next general election.

You heard it here first.
