Warning Ballot paper enclosed in "The Voice"

Post by stephen500 »

Before some of you rush to throw "The Voice" in the bin, be aware that there is a Labour Party Ballot form for the leadership contest enclosed.
Btw I can't believe our union gives you the option of voting by internet then by post!

I bet its the same people who complain about every aspect of Government yet cant be bothered when it comes to voting...The election for labour leader IS very important. Whoever the party elects could be Prime Minister next year..Its a simple as that...

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

How very quaint. :Very Happy
I've binned my copy of that tiresome rag, along with the voting slip. Labour do not stand up for the working man anymore, the Tory Blair saw to that.
The archaic laws that shackle trades unions, introduced by Thatcher and endorsed by Labour if not in words, then certainly by deeds, will remain in place long after the next Labour government gets consigned to the dustbin of history.
The working man/woman must look elsewhere for relief from the middle class onslaught.

To be honest, not one single candidate represents my views and I will remember their betrayal. Now if we were voting to ditch that Party....

I don't think it's easy to be happy with any of the 3 main parties...none of them represent us.
I think the days of people voting for one party because they hate the other two are coming to an end.There is now very little to choose between any of the 3 as far as pure politics is concerned as all 3 have drifted into the middle ground courting the apathetic non political masses of this country.
I have voted Labour all my life but this is not the Labour party as i knew it,nor will it ever be again.
I have never been one to support a football team just because i hate the team they are playing and i won't do it with politics.
If a party/union/leader doesn't represent me and my kind why would/should i support it.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

No, the Tories do not have a great record for the working classes, neither do New Labour! I agree with Fishtank, none of the 3 main parties represent us, I will not vote for any of them to keep them on the gravy train.
IMO, there is little, if any difference between Labour or Tory. They both seek to grind us down, blame us for their mistakes, and make us pay for theirs.
For what the Labour Party has done in the last 13 years, they deserve to never be in power again. The damage they did far outweighs the good. The Tories are not the answer, but if Labour do not return to their roots, they shouldn't be re-elected. Ever.

Im still very much at home with the Gren Party where we have a deputy leadership election on the go. The most excellent Eco Socalist Derek Wall is standing.
