Because they think they are still caught up in a class war.

Sadly, I think you are right. My mate will be voting for them and when I told him I would be voting Tory, he said, "Why, you're not a blue blood are you. My old man voted Labour and I always have."

Two thirds of voters will vote for a particular party because their family always has. It's than single third that's important as it can go either way.

A significant number of people will vote for them because they believe that they represent their interest better than the other parties. Perception rather than reality is what counts.

Because labour ensure they give cash benifits to non working labour voters and millions in regional grants, to marxist councils who toe the party line and it ensures that the corrupt labour bribe system is continued intact.

1. Fathers voted labour so they would vote labour.
2. People who just don't give a toss and are on the dole tend to vote who ever they see in government at the time.
3. 2/3 of the uk population are tossers

Because they have such great policies and they work out exactly as expected!

The Labour administration in 1978 believed the introduction of ID cards would be “unacceptable” and “objectionable” in the fight against illegal immigration, confidential documents released today show.

The comments were in a draft statement due to be given to the Commons by Merlyn Rees, the Home Secretary, who wrote that the introduction of identity cards “would require major changes in practices and powers reaching far beyond immigration control”.

He added: “In the past such changes have been contemplated only in war: the Government does not believe they could be justified on immigration grounds alone.”

The comments were later edited out of the final speech he delivered to the House, as a struggling Labour Government tried to resist the calls from Opposition leader Margaret Thatcher for more draconian measures to tackle illegal immigration.

And here we are thirty years on..................................

Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants were knowingly given National Insurance numbers over the past decade, it emerged last night.
The Department for Work and Pensions handed over the prized number - vital for securing a job - to any illegal immigrant so long as they had a partner who was a British citizen.
