Labour

Crashed economy, overspending, deregulation of banks, too many immigrants coming in from the EU (by their own admission), Iraq war, many of their MPs disgraced in the expenses scandal, corrupt links with Unite, terrible running of the NHS in Wales and before in Stafford, Rotherham grooming scandal enabled by their council and now the party comes out against 0 hour contracts, despite 62 of their mps employing people on them. not to mention the Labour MPs who have second jobs and who voted against recall) Can't believe anyone takes Labour seriously anymore.

if the tories get back in, they will be no benefits left to claim. they will slash the welfare benefit for young and old to such an extreme, that people will be living off food banks and charity shops. homelessness will go through the roof and chaos will ensue.

Along with immigration increasing , another of his key pledges being to reduce it to the tens of thousands

Labour are the next best thing electable.
Though the country and some on here need a good clearing out with a Socialist enema.
Labour really does need to return to left wing ideals.
Anyone voting tory needs their head adjusting anyone voting UKIP needs to be put on a National Security register as potential traitors.

[Eric Cartman]

tl;dr Vote for who you want, but neither Labour or Conservatives have a good track record, so dont moan when it goes wrong.You say people should vote for who they want to and say that political parties should tell us why we should vote for them (and not why we shouldn't vote for the 'other lot') but this is completely at odds with your 'lets give them a go because they haven't had a chance to get it wrong before' attitude.

[NECS]

I do wish people would realise they're all the same pigs with their noses in the same trough. I particularly liked the one about expense scandals being the sole prerogative of the Tories (although they've had more than their fair share) as if MacShane, Morley, Moran, Chaytor etc were airbrushed from history. All this hot air you saw in the debate last week is part of this game. Bandying phrases like traitors and scum around just makes the person spouting it look ridiculous. Politics is one great con but there I used to believe that one party was more sincere than the others myself once upon a time and I suppose people should keep their illusions in tact until they grow up a little.

The economic crash was felt around the world and was caused by greedy rich people,not socially fair minded folk. It did though present the Tories with a gift to pursue their usual policies of looking after their own, whilst the vunerable suffer and take the hit.

And absolutely nothing to do with the financial genius Gordon Brown who ran deficits during the boom years.His remarks on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, which he was guest-editing, will please the shadow chancellor, Ed Balls, as he prepares to battle a Conservative claim at the next election that Labour mismanagement of City regulation and excessive public spending were jointly responsible for the crash from which the UK economy is still recovering.""

Thankfully when that tw*t ended up in number 10 his replacement had the ability to count above 10It is also true that it wasn't solely their fault, however nobody could argue that running deficits during boom times was a stupid strategy. Saving for a rainy day springs to mind?

In that case country any country that wants to control immigration / control their borders is also promoting genocide and ethnic cleansing , USA, China, Australia, India, Canada....... http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/shrug.gif

[archibald leitch]

I hate Labour and will never vote for them again - i find it frustrating thought that people blame them for shit they did not do - like causing the global financial slump. Surey there are enough real reasons to hate them without making shit up - it undermnines the whole case against them.

Surey there are enough real reasons to hate them without making shit up - it undermnines the whole case against them.I haven't seen anyone say that they caused the global financial crisis. Me, I just think their spend thrift approach during the boom years was stupid and based on the feeling that there would never be a crash.

And absolutely nothing to do with the financial genius Gordon Brown who ran deficits during the boom years.Ignoring the fact that to suggest that the global financial crash was caused by levels of UK Government debt (which preceding the crash were relatively low) its important to note that Gordon Brown was the only Chancellor since the war to actually run a surplus for more than 2 years.
