have to vote Labour, just to get the current shower of shite coalition government out!
I actually voted Lib Dems last time, I never wanted them in bed with the tories though!
Labour handled the reccesion terribly !
They made mistake after mistake and never had the balls to make large cuts or decisions in fear of losing the public until it was too late (such as the benefits cuts which we have needed for so long), which just made things worse in the long run. And the few decisions they did make were wrong.
Perfect example of incompetence - The mistake of selling half our gold reserves at a ridiculously low price cost the taxpayer £5-7 billion alone!! Gordon, you are a moron.
Under the Torries we are seeing more growth, and at least they are honest about how difficult this will all be and making plans which last beyond their term, Labour were never honest, not about invading shitty counties on no valid grounds and not about the recession.
If it was such a World event then how are the Germans prospering so well, because they were managed better thats why. The Government needed to stop the bankers but they never did, they just rode the high.
On top of that Ed Miliband is a complete and utter fool, he has never once layed down an actual solid policy and instead feeds on small government mistakes, which they usually hold their hands up to and attempt to resolve (i.e. the latest retraction of the fuel tax increase, surely thats a response of: ok, everyone is against this, lets put our hands up and listen to the public - thats the kind of government I want).
Im not one of these people who sticks with one party all my life, honestly I don't understand those types because whats the point of being gives the choice, something people have had to fight for, if you will always vote the same way regardless. I go off policies and actual results, both of which I believe have been better under the current Conservative party than the last Labour - still waiting to hear any of Ed Milibands policies..
I also don't care what their background is but I do find it funny that the Torries get stick for not caring about the common man after Labour have sent hundreds of service men to die, many in cold blood by people they were mean't to be helping, with the most likely reason being to hold on to oil.... like they give shit about the common man. This is the party that let the bankers run wild because it gave the pretense of a health economy, everyone knowns the cycle of boom and bust, its a basic economic principle, and Labour failed to regulate it, because frankly, they didn't give a crap about anything other than getting re-elected.
And if Labour hadn't been such greedy idiots during the boom, not thinking about future implications and just riding the wave because they wanted votes then the torries wouldn't be needing to enforce such harsh cuts now - but unfortunately due to Labour total incompetence we have to.
Sorry about the rant, started typing and just couldn't stop
