A vote for Labour?

@Pussy_Kat Said

Labour? Sounds too much like childbirth

@sister_of_mercy Said

Because the alternative of the Tories is much much worse.

@davii Said

Why's that? Considering most seem to think it's a case of same horse different jockey anyway...

For one I don't think the Tory party has changed all that much from how it used to be. There's been a lot of obvious clean up work done to change the reputation of the party but I have the feeling that when it comes down to it they are still elitist and not really best for the people.

On a personal level, I disagree with some of their education policies; i.e. testing at age 6, the Citizen Service for 16 year olds, the planned overhaul of the A Level syllabus/exams and the proposed lift of the cap on tuition fees, which would mean that universities will be able to charge higher prices so those who are from poor backgrounds may miss out). I also disagree with their policy on keeping nuclear power and the fact that they want to re-appeal the fox hunting ban.

I know that Labour aren't a thousand miles away from the Tories, but their policies seem a lot more likely to benefit everyone, rather than the Tory's plans which will benefit only some.

What could possibly make a UK voter choose to put their cross by the Labour candidate at the May 6th election?

I can only think of either amnesia or stupidity.

There's already testing for age 6/7 - my kid sis is doing it! lol. You're right about universities though, although fox hunting is kinda more an urban v country thing.

Labour always steals people's stuff - my step family lost their estate due to Labour based inheritance tax, so we basically hate their guts lol. Bunch of commies!
