what are other options for government, the conservatives spent 18 years crippling this countries heavy industry destroying workers rights and bludgeoning common working class people into the dirt under the conservative the rich got much richer and the poor got poorer at least labour have helped staunch off the critical damage the Tories did to the UK does anybody believe the present bunch of lemmings they have at the moment could do a better job.
the lib's are a joke they have neither the policy's or people to govern this country god help us if they ever get in.
it is not possibly without serious parliamentary reform the create a coalition government so it seems labour are the only choice, labour throughout it's history has changed it's form to suite the public undercurrent of the time what TB has done now is nothing spectacularly new

The money for services will come from the taxpayers and council tax payers.
Neither the Labour party or the Conservative party have anything to be proud of given their record in government. Both these parties and their followers derided the Lib-Dems and both parties, in their arrogance, made a great mess of running the country.
The Lib-Dems, at least, have a good record at local government level and deserve a chance in government. After all, John Major and Tony Blair were allowed into power on the assumption that they could run the country efficiently. It was only after they got in that they were found wanting. Charles Kennedy is being written off without being given the chance to show what he and his party can do.
A coalition is not on the cards as it is unlikely that the parties will find enough that they can agree on.
One possibility is a 'hung' parliament where no party has a clear majority. Perhaps then parties might work together in the interests of the people, but it's unlikely.
It's also worth bearing in mind that MPs are now on such good salaries and pensions that they now belong to the much derided 'middle class' and live a life far removed from the 'working class' people they purport to represent.
They've forgotten the communities of people destroyed by the collapse of the iron & steel industries, the shipbuilding industry, textiles, engineering, fishing and farming. They could have done so much to restore these communities but so much money has been wasted and our National borrowing is at its highest level.
New Labour have become 'champagne socialists' living the 'Tory' good life at the expense of their constituents. They've clearly forgotten what it's like to be a poor 'working class' person.
