Why wont you be voting Labour?

[Pesty]

all of the above and this

[otolith]

I could forgive the tax and spend, in that it's what they are meant to stand for - what I can't take is the authoritarianism, the control freakery, the arrogance, the contempt for individual freedom, the deceit, the disingenuity, the spin and the awful, awful people like Mandelson who should have had the decency to slink out of public life the first time but keeps slithering back into power. Vile.

Basically, they deserve to lose.

And the fact that if Gordon was re-elected...and got run over by a bus...or more likely assasinated...we would get this as prime minister.

I will not be voting Labour because any party that genuinely believes that reducing taxes (or not putting them up) is taking money out of the economy deserves to die.

To them the only spending is government spending.

To them it is all their money...and they want to call this "fairness".

To sum it up: Governments should be afraid of their people not the other way around.

Time to make them afraid. Very, very afraid. If Labour somehow remain in power due to a fked up hung parliament I'm not sure the British people will stand for it. We vote governments out - not in - and people want Brown gone. If he is isn't? There will be blood.

...oh that's a prediction, not a threat. Me? I'll be keeping calm and carrying on same as most of us.

Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot put into words what it feels like to have a loved one snatched from you and sent to the other side of the world. Not knowing if you are going to see them for more than a couple of weeks a year, whilst having some heartless from the Home Office litterally laughing his tits off about it.

Harriet Harmen, as God as my witness, if we ever meet you will feel physical pain equal to the pain that your department made me feel in my heart.

The pain, worry, expense and heatache that your staff put me, my wife, and my family through, I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. And that will never be forgotten.

There. The four biggies for me. (And all of them linked, in one way or another.)

A future fair for all, hey? I'd love to see the Labour definition of "all" - well hey, they've already tried re-writing the history books. Maybe they could alter the dictionary as well.

^^^ This again. As a young(ish) married couple with no kids, both on good wages, own our home etc, we seem to do nothing but work and pay taxes so the work-shy, burberry-wearing, happy-meal + ciggy eating, waste of skin and air baby factories get nice houses, flat screen tvs and handouts that mean they are better off claiming than working.

Fair for all my arse. If Broon and his jockeys get in again we are off.....

EXACTLY! Just the situation we are in (well, we like to think we are young!), and exactly our sentiments.

I am sick and tired of being the exchequer, funding every pet project the idiots in charge want to spend cash on; doubly-so when the burbery-clad underclass not only benefit from our taxes but cause a direct detriment to our lifestyle as well.

Ah, well, people have different understandings of what "fair" means. Some people, for example, don't think it is fair that those who are hard working and talented should have too much more than those who are idle and useless. Politicians like to throw "fair" around as if it means something, but without reading the small print it means nothing at all.

I wont be voting Labour because of the times Brown spouted his favourite retoric:


"No more boom and bust".


I can tbeleive the conservatives haven't hammered him on this one thing alone. That time he was dressed up in his penguin suit kissing the arses of those bankers that were actually ruining the country.....

Surely, as a previous labour voter, my opinion on why I wont be voting for them this time round is way more important and welcome than someone who voted for the conservatives last time anyway? The did lose after all. 3 times in a row.


I know your comment is tongue in cheek, but why wouldnt you welcome with open arms a possible defector. OTs the only way to win after all.

sorry mate, was very much tongue in cheek. i hope there's plenty more like you too. just hope the emperor's new clothes (x factor cleggy) isn't taking too many people in.

the conservatives were so worn and sleaze ridden by 1997, they were always going to spend at least 2 terms in opposition. however, with hindsight the economy was in rude health back then, and the sleaze was a storm in a teacup compared to the last 10 years.

I won't be voting Labour because of their utter inability to connect with the real world. And because they seem to think that our money is their money, and that taxpayers should just be given small allowances to live on while they run roughshod over our entire way of life. I appreciate we have to pay to continue services such as the NHS, and that's fair - but it's not fair to expect taxpayers to cough up for gastric banding surgery and other cosmetic surgery linked with drastic weight loss, sex changes, etc. Or for £500 laptops for the offspring (yeah, sure...) of their core voters, particularly when other people work hard yet can't afford even a cheap laptop for their children.

As someone else said on here the other day - our government should be there to help the needy. Not the "wanty". And that's where Labour falls flat on its face. People who've chosen to stay on benefits as a lifestyle know how to play the system and milk it for all its worth, while people who've worked all their lives and have lost their jobs can't get anything back because they have a small amount of savings. That's not fairness. That's paying to uphold an underclass that naturally would have either worked or starved to death. I have nothing at all against helping people who genuinely need help - but it has to be a two-way thing. You put in, you get out. No exceptions, unless someone is genuinely disabled or *completely unable* to work in some capacity, for whatever reason.

"Fair for all"? Please! They mean "fair for their core voters".

The trouble is that we've had 13 years of this. That's a long time. Some people probably couldn't countenance having to work again after years of being "on the sick" or "'unable' to get a job". If all their benefits were withdrawn, there'd be mass rioting. So what's the answer?

Well, whatever it is - it doesn't involve throwing even more of our money at them to keep them in flat screen TVs, Nike's finest tracksuits and Stella.
