Tax raises would have happened anyway - only under Liebor there would be a lot less cuts in waste because that would hit their core vote.

Surely though New Labour were really just Conservatives hiding behind a facade? The Tories bought in the free enterprise market where everyone could be their own boss and have a load of wonga, just witness the golden years of contracting and barrow boys in the City. Old Labour knew that they could not win against this Gomorraha of a vision but waiting in the wings were those who knew that by playing the 'wolf in sheeps clothing' ploy that they could win by plying their wares to mans basest instinct: Greed. The trouble is, and this is because the Tories have always been a monied persons party yet Labour never were, they could not handle the finances. Labour screwed up but don't think that the new kids on the block are going to be any better because not only aren't they real Tories, more like New Labour Tories, but they have with them as bedfellows, a party that has never had its own policies and just rides on the tailcoats of others. The country is going to get worse before it ever, if ever, gets better.

Nah. You see that is quite interestingOriginally posted by sasguru View PostAbout as interesting as a dead fish.
HTH
What type of fish it is? Is it young? Is it old? What did it die of? Was it polluted? Did it die of old age? Did it get hit by a boat.
Interesting stuff.
I think you meant, About as interesting as a damp lettuce leaf.

Mich, I was referencing the "Polls on this forum" comment.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostThe majority of people didn’t vote Labour. Neither, you may say, did the majority vote conservative. This argument would be correct. However, I think you’ll find that the quality of the Conservative voters is far superior to others, and that’s enough for me.

You see, I am interesting!Originally posted by d000hg View PostAgain, try reading what I actually wrote. Polls on CUK show a Tory majority. That's not labelling if I refer back to it.
Maybe you just can't read well enough to understand?
Anyway, bored now. Will check in on this fascinating debate tonight maybe, if SY01 hasn't posted a more interesting thread about his feelings...
Not that this is a label of course. I would not want to be labelled as interesting, just described as such. Labelling bad. Describing good.
