WHAT CAUSED LABOURS BAD SHOWING

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

The press and media at the moment are saying the Expenses Row and the Recession are the reasons for Labours bad showing in the election but I think it may these and others as well.

So with that in mind I have started a poll - you have as many choices as they are options so vote for the ones you agree with. This is not a scientific poll just me trying to get an idea of what happened to Labour and why.

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

No EU referendum! Royal Mail privatisation, and the way they have lied about the stealth taxes imposed on the working man since new Liebour came to power!! I'll never vote for them again until they change their outlook back again. :hmmmm
I know you think you know what you think I meant!
But do you really know?

Not sure it was really the expensis rows folks, it should have hit all parties. I know for a fact that labour has lost the plot though.

No, fiddling expenses is a just way of life for tory MPs and voters alike so the Conservatives haven't suffered, but good honest Labour supporters have been shocked by it all and so didn't go out to vote on Thursday.

dictatorship by Europe but Brown & co are such Europhiles - and it doesn't necessarily mean if you're anti EU that you're a little Englander .

Very centralized and Stalinist government , the p*** take in Private Eye magazine does things like PM's decree No 94 etc , always many a true thing said in jest :hmmmm
