    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)

    We'd be back in the stone age.
    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...

    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?

    The Coalition have a tightrope to walk - just holding back enough to keep him in a job until 2015.

    So glad he isn't going to get a chance

    I suspect he will be stalked in 6-12 months.

    They will leave it that long to give the replacement time to look sturdy but new.

    Most of our Fuel is from a foreign market which he dose not control!
    And its the same is for the "Free" childcare he promises. "Nothing is free" and where dose he think the money will come from?? He'll just borrow More money from the worlds banks and that will push us back into more debt and recession.
    FTFY free infant school meals are Lib Dem policy and therefore fact....

    The UK is an importer of energy. He can't freeze the international price.

    The only way to do it is to either borrow the difference between the frozen price and market price or to levy an indeterminable additional tax on the UK's O&G sector.

    He's going to be beaten by this every time he opens his mouth on the economy from now until the election.
    Don't forget he is a socialist and socialists believe money grows on trees.
