labour need to rid of this clown and all traces of new labour including balls up and harriet haggard ....awfu awful people. total clear out and start from scratch. tax the rich more the poor less, increasing working tax credits make that system way easier and advertise it better to get people off the dole. slash vat to 10% with a promise to abolish it within 10 years. its an enslavement tax. tighten all tax loop holes on the corporations. fight to get unified laws on tax loopholes across the EU and the entire planet. fight for disabled rights, tighten controls on companies exploiting customers, that includes all car manufacturers, all corporations, also monopolies like BT ,sky and RAC

scrap the £60 billion trains stink......we the tax payers pay 60 billion for a privatised rail system and the companies and shareholders take the profits? can no one tell this is 100% corrupt. privatising profits , socialising losses?

labour are as bad if not worse.

trouble is who else is there? clegg? don't make me laugh? all that's left is the nationalist parties or ukip or green peace? no wonder salmond was doing so well

Obviously that is your view the truth, and I respect you have become so disillisioned as to Labour that you think that way.

However I don't see Labour that way now, I really belive given the chance Ed Miliband will do what he says he will he hasn't gone fare nough for me as to some policies I would like to see but of the 3,he is the one I would now trust most.
He as yet, has not lied to the voters as leader of his party.

You raise the very valid point, under the eclectoral system we have,who else is there that can govern.
As you say, certainly not Clegg, who actually deserves to lose his own seat in my view,for the way he kicked in the teeh those who trusted him in 2010.

I for one, would hate to see and do not want, more of the same austerity measures there ahs been this last 5 years.
So yes, who is there, there will have to be some cuts, everyone accepts that but the cuts on the scale the Conservatives are planning again,in my view are inappropriate and too excessive.

A slower and more controlled way is needed and that is why this time around, I am prepared to try the opposition's way.
It is why among many other areas of policy they have too,Labour has won my vote in this election.
No more cuts for me and when I hear all this supposed good news from the Conseravtives,I am left suspicious as to how strong the recovery really is at this time since they say even more cuts are needed than was the case in 2010.
No thank you, the most vulnerable couldn't manage with more savage cuts like have been done, there has to be another way and I am prepared to see if in fact Ed Miliband will deliver that, and with more compassion in policies too.

You say Labour lost compassion 30 years ago, I actually see a fair bit in its policies in this election, I seen not the tiniest bit of compassion in any of the Conservative party's policies, all I see there are really ugly policies which I think will not work as in fact they really haven't this last 5 years.

I do appreciate and respect your view that you hold too, clearly you have lived under more of both govts; maybe a bit longer than I have and have your reasons from experience of both for being greatly didillusioned with likely the lot of them.
