Jeremy's too honest, which is rare in politics idc:

Odd logic, let's not criticise the conservatives for what they have done, let's criticise Labour for what they didn't do :/

You can find far more reasons to not vote conservative.. most of them being revolved around their complete lack of any human emotion towards the poor, their party being kept afloat by Murdoch monopolization of the press industry and funded by big business, extortionate cuts and shrinking of the state in the name of deficit reduction (while also lowering taxes for the rich).

Don't forget they constantly laugh at questions posed to David Cameron by the public instead of answering them, instead making cheap jibes at Corbyn for being left-leaning. And while we're at that, the constant labelling of Corbyn who is the LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION as a 'threat to national security', 'threat to economic stability', 'threat to british families' is becoming dangerously resembling to that of fascists in our past. Truly terrifying. They're trying to wipe out any of the main opposition parties - Labour are a threat to national security, the SNP are a threat to our union.. you can't make this stuff up.

They also evidently don't give a **** about the young people, and when I'm old enough to vote I won't forget that.

I half agree the tories probably on the whole don't give a stuff about the poor..but do labour really? you see to get out of poverty you need jobs, opportunities, aspirations, you need to get off benefits, you need motivation, you need a strong economy....new labour failed in that department...the local government grew, the debts mounted, unemployment rose, we got so strangled with political correctness that it became a human right to breed for benefits and let the hard working tax payer pay the bills....basically we went bust....new labour did less than nothing for the poor areas, less than nothing for industries, less than nothing for the spiralling energy bills, bt , taking state ownership of public utilities? new labour allowed the housing bubble, they bailed the banks....they were a disgrace

so all im saying is they were probably even worse than the tories and the tories are awful

johnnyuk123, you also forgot, how Labour run councils used the race card to let over a thousand white girls be sexually abused, and forced the police to try and arrest their parents who tried to protect their children, and how Mr bean or should I say Gorden Brown who sold off are gold at a silly cheap price, and how they treat their loyal voters, like village idiots, when they called one loyal lady supporter a bigot, unfortunately the majority of people in this country have a memory of a sieve, and don't remember these things.
