I’m not that old, but I won’t see a Labour Government again in my lifetime. You could stick a blue rosette on a blonde Alpaca and it would beat anything Labour put out.

Opposition don't win elections, the incumbents lose them, after a certain time people just get sick of the sleeze and corruption and give the other side a go, might help them if their wasn't quite so much choice for your left leaning voter though

I'd like to see some really tough stuff introduced, things that would - hopefully - make people think twice about doing it again, but that won't ever happen  |
I doubt it would make people think twice, we can't get harsher than hanging and deportation and yet we still had crime back then including hanging children for stealing bread. The only thing that makes people "think twice" is if they think there's a good chance of them getting caught, not the fear of the punishment
