Labour is dead and buried in scotland. No scare tactics will work. Recently appointed new Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy, a guy who celebrated with the tories when the 'No vote' result came in, he claimed over £1m in expenses over a 10 year period while urging people to vote no in scottish referendum, scared to death that the tax payer funded gravy train would stop running.

The Labour party represented the working classes. You only need to look at what people like Keir Hardie, Clement Attlee, Nye Bevan and Tony Benn have done for the party and the country. All admirable politicians with genuine conviction. Then Ed Balls say that the Labour party would continue with austerity and Tory spending plans..... hang on… aren’t you meant to be offering an alternative?!!? But no. They won’t. Instead of modernising or even trying to reach out to those people that don’t vote… they consider it easier to appeal to the demographics that always vote. Why should we give them a mandate to carry on the Tories work? Wipe them out!
Anyway, the future generation of voters will have grown up, hopefully, questioning why they should vote Labour? And… why should they? I cannot see any reason now why I would vote Labour ever again. And there are so many people out in Scotland that feel the same way, rest of the u.k need to take notice of this. Politics have been dominating the news up here for past 2 years.

This is why the Labour party is now finished in Scotland and this will affect them at the general election, and it is all their own fault too. They’ll visiting working class, make speeches in city centres, you will hear them on the tv, threatening us with a rhetoric saying “if you don’t vote for us, you’ll let the Tories/UKIP in!” Don’t fall for this bollocks. They deserve to be wiped out. Along with the spineless Lib Dems.

When have Labour ever "bailed us out"? I do hope you don't mean financially because that would be incorrect.

I think you're confusing what you want to happen with what will actually happen.

Again?

Pmsl. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Sorry to hear that, did you get them put in on the NHS or was it done privately by one of the healthcare providers that the tories are selling off OUR NHS to in return for directorships and party donations?

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/conservative/11264425/Stephen-Dorrell-MP-faces-calls-to-resign-over-conflict-of-interest.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politic ... erest.html</a>

Stephen Dorrell, the veteran Conservative MP, has been accused of a conflict of interest after taking a job as an adviser with a private firm targeting a £1billion NHS contract.
The MP for Charnwood, a cabinet minister in John Major’s government, announced last week that he would be stepping down at the General Election as he had accepted a job as a health policy consultant with accountancy firm KPMG, which he said would be “incompatible” with his role as an MP.
However, it is claimed that he is starting his new three-days-a-week job on Monday, meaning that he will be in both positions for six months.
KPMG are considering bidding for a £1 billion deal to manage the patient’s medical records.
Mr Dorrell, who quit his post as chairman of the House of Commons Health Select Committee in June, faced calls to resign from one of the posts.

Dr Clive Peedell, National Health Action party co-leader, told the Daily Mirror: “Stephen Dorrell admits his new job is ¬incompatible with being an MP. If that’s the case, he should resign immediately or give up the new role.
“This also makes it clear why Mr Dorrell suddenly resigned as chair of the Health Select Committee. Clearly a better offer came his way.
“This case demonstrates everything that is rotten about our -political system.”
Mr Dorrell told the newspaper that there was “no incompatibility between being an MP and being a KPMG adviser”, just with taking on the role and seeking re-election.

Really? I take it you remember what thatcher did to this country? The increased borrowing of cameron? You tory clowns really are in a world of your own. Dont worry,labour will pull us out of the shit...again.

My dad you to say "if brains were dynamite you wouldn't even have enough to blow your nose"
Its quite appropriate as a reply to this

 

[mackenzie]

Conservatives, small overall majority

That's how I see it too. Labour are nowhere near where they need to be at this stage. However, 4 months can be a long time in politics.

god I hope so

The trouble is that our electoral system only really works when the two main parties are dominant. I thnk we'll end up in May in a unholy mess where neither Labour of Consevatives will be have a majority. The Lib Dems will not have enough seats to form a coalition with either party. We'll have a minority government propped up by a rag bag of minor parties before it all unravels and we have a second election.

It will not be like Borgen.

Surely allowing the LWKJ's like blue cigar and Len rum to air their clear fuckwittery is a serious enough part of the thread?

 

[urmston]

I'll be voting Conservative.

They are just as incompetent as Labour, but their incompetence is generally cheaper for the average taxpayer.

 

[blue cigar]

As serious as your earlier reply de niro? I see the bullingdon boys have launched their campaign by lying about the defecit and having a poster of a german road! Still,let the toffs of bluemoon tell us they are doing a great job.

You do realise that just calling everyone Tory boy may have seemed the zenith of wit and debate during the 3 or 4 years of high school you attended, but with grown adults possessing a modicum of intelligence, you just look a fucking idiot.
