BBC News - Gordon Brown reveals five key general election pledges

Yawn yawn heard it all before, one would think that they would come up with something more entertaining than an endless repeat of these glib trite promises, that amazingly never get fulfilled.
Sack the lot of them, vote for anyone other than a sitting MP.
Teach the bastards that we have rights as well, that they work for us, that WE elect them to serve not to steal.

Glossy propaganda and breathtaking hypocrisy? That's Labour's election drive alright!

Gordon Brown echoed the words of fellow leftist toad Harriet Harman when he called Labour the 'underdog' 'party of the people'.



He launched his worthless pledge cards today, though the odious party's still effectively in £20 million debt:

(Ooh, sorry. Wrong link. But it's still a radical, new fresh-style idea all the same! And just the kind of thing New Labour's corporate-speaking people-managers are famed for!)



The cards themselves? Great. Fantastic. Spectacular. More promises which our 'liberal' scumbag overlords either have no intention of delivering or have had the past TWELVE YEARS to do so. Such cheek from a party whose backbenchers wanted to spend far more Parliamentary time trying to get foxhunting banned than trying to fix the NHS, education, crime or anything else you can think of.


Do those Marx-influenced lying turds think we're that stupid?

I suppose, well, yes when you consider all the 'PC' nation-wrecking, asylum flooding, bank-bailing, business-ruining, red tape-foisting, war-making, culture-smashing, expenses-quaffing, EU-quisling, mind-controlling, Public-oppressing, protestor-battering, criminal-pampering, positive-discriminating, Islamificatory Common Purposing which ISN'T listed anywhere in the insidious Red propaganda!

Tories are not much better.. if at all.

As it stands now, Gordon Brown will be elected as he will win a majority of the marginal seats according to a poll I saw yesterday.

As I predicted some what... the Tories are self destructing as usual.

I'd hardly call it meltdown. They're more united than they've been for years.


And now let's get into the election spirit:

But according to consistent polls (this one 2009), the Red Scum are gonna get kicked good and sweet:

Only question remaining is how much a set of national betrayals the other side will inflict.

And this is 2010, months later, and the polls are very different.

Conservatives trail Labour in marginal seats, poll shows - Telegraph

Poll: Labour Is Leading In Key Marginal Seats - Yahoo! News UK

The Tories need to win a huge majority of these seats to take power away from Labour and at the moment they are not even winning a majority.

But there is still a few weeks to go, but as it looks now, a hung parliament or a labour victory looks more likely. It will all depend most likely on the Lib Dems.

They may trail in the marginals (suicide hotspots I contend), but overall the latest polls show a good lead to the Tories and most people with an opinion are sceptical over the budget:

UK Polling Report



Are the Tories still not good enough even to give the ailing and unpopular Labour Party the coup-de-gras it deserves and hurl it to near-oblivion?

I know the polls are fickle, much depends on the pollsters and that there's a large invisible proportion on non-voters with other ideas. But for all the dissatisfaction with Labour, you'd think more people would vote just to be rid of them.

These marginal constituencies can contain high levels of unemployed people, concentrated newly-arrived immigrants with virtually no connection to the place or places where the social system has otherwise broken up. But I'd still say that across the board the stay-at-homes will have a bit more of an effect on what little good fortune Labour still has even now.

You can spread as much propoganda as you want RoP but frankly it is wasted here since I dont care for either. Instead stick to the facts which you seem to love to avoid. On top of that you are using the same fear tactics and racist crap as right wing Republicans and their European far right neo nazi parties love to use when it comes to immigration.

I am no expert on the British political system, but I do know that for the Tories to win over Labour it would require them beating labour by at least 8% points and barring that it would require them beating labour handsomely in the marginal seats (aka the seats up for grab). The Tories are not doing either at the moment.

In the end it will depend on voter turn-out and how many votes the Lib Dems can take from the Tories and Labour. But as it stands now, there is a far greater chance of a hung parliament or labour staying in power than there is of a tory victory.

"I'd still say that across the board the stay-at-homes will have a bit more of an effect on what little good fortune Labour still has even now."

You missed that bit at the bottom. Which makes all the difference as I was just adding another factor to the pile.

I don't care what you care for. Nor do I care that you don't care for what I care for. (In fact that can encourage me.) Especially when you slam an aspect you don't care for with insults before saying you don't know enough about stuff in Britain anyway.


Whatever the argument, I still maintain the Tories will win. Indeed, even when polls were lukewarm or tentatively optimistic for the Tories in 1997, Labour still won a mammoth landslide.

But I do agree that Labour may still fight very hard and give the Tories a very sharp run for their money. I want to see that Tory percentage much higher and more clear-cut. Labour's still got some bull in it, many voters will apparently stay at home and the Tories aspire to be as two-faced and slippery as Labour that many true-blues are only lukewarm themselves. But all in all, we'll see what happens in a few weeks time to see who's right in the end.

I honestly don't know how anyone can justify keeping Labour in government. Under Labour we have a chav culture of anti-social behaviour, a benefits (?) system that gives out ridiculous sums of money to people who have no chance of earning as much from a job, a swollen public sector and hefty pensions, a huge influx of migrants milking the system, two under-funded wars and countless lies. I don't understand how anyone wants to vote Labour!?!?!


God, the Red crap: Don't Vote Labour

Well, perhaps, on second thoughts.....

VOTE LABOUR!
