The 2015 Popularity Contest (aka UK General Election )

Thankfully, it doesn't look at though Tory, LD and UKIP will gain enough seats to form a coalition. Lib Dems wouldn't enter any coalition agreement with UKIP anyway. I can only really see a labour SNP partnership.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a Labour / Lib Dem agreement sured up by the SNP. Probability of the increases greatly if Clegg loses his seat.

I am glad some one found figures of food bank usage. Well done. But whoever one votes for the food banks will still be used. All parties are high on rhetoric but low on actuality.

Do you think Labour will accuse food bank users of being freeloaders and skivers?

This is Lord Freud's (Conservative member of the House of Lords and a Minister) explanation for the rise in food bank users:

Challenged by the Bishop of Truro, the Rt Rev Tim Thornton, over whether ministers conceded a link between the benefits system and food bank use, Lord Freud replied that it was difficult to “make the causal connections”. The minister for welfare reform added: “It is difficult to know which came first – supply or demand.”

“Food banks are absolutely not part of the welfare system that we run. We have other systems to support people.” Asked what he meant, he replied: “If you put more food banks in, that is the supply. Clearly food from a food bank is by definition a free good and there’s almost infinite demand.”

It amazes me how even people on even a modest income would consider voting for a party of such cruel intentions.

Bloody marvellous race, the Romans.

It's tough supporting Labour. We know the parties' limitation. We all understand how further to the right the party have drifted, and also how it had to be done for them to be recognised as a party. It's difficult to support a party who admit they will make cuts because that's what the public want to hear. But, and I think it's very important, there is a massive difference between Labour and the Tories - compassion.

And Tories and Labour - competence.............

Only if they voted Tory........

 

[chicoazul]

Difference between tory and labour is if you vote tory you're concerned with solely you. People who vote labour tend to care about others in society, particularly the more weaker and less off.

You can still have lots of money but care deeply about having a government who will help those less fortunate.
