2015 UK General Election Thread

[tweetiepooh]

What have the Tories (or any party) done for the country is a very different question to what have they done for me, my family, street, town, area, county.

Same is true of what will the Tories (or any party) do for me, my family, street, town, area, county or country.

If it's true that finances follow policy by some years then we are still working through Labour's policies even now. If Labour get in and things get better they'll claim the credit, spend the money and return us to national poverty in time for the next election.

i'm sure labour and ukip voters say the same about the opposing sides ,people will vote for the party that offers them the most false promises

Now you know Arthur doesn't concern himself with mere details such as that don't you.

Some folks are still 'labouring' (pun intentional) under the delusion that things would have been better had Brown carried on where he left off in 2010...

We have the shining example over the channel of what would have happened. President Hollande did exactly what Labour were promising at the last election: Spend, tax and borrow. Just look at the result: high unemployment stubbornly refusing to fall, stagnant growth and the rich fled to London to escape a 75% top tax rate.

Still the Bankers who created the economic down turn in the first instance with their greed are paying out lovely bonuses again...

Yet still the rose tinted bespectacled fools refuse to accept it.

I watched a programme tonight on the plight of ONE town in the North East, and the people that depend on Foodbanks. And the plight of heavy debt.

This has been caused by the cruel cuts made by Cameron. Osborne has already said that he plans 70 millions pounds of cuts IF they get into power.

How can voters, vote for a person like that. The money that he plans to save, where is that going. Probably into the pockets of bankers and MPs who say that they are worth more than the 11% pay rise they want

What we have to realise is this country is run by the workers, who produce goods to sell, or care for the elderly.

You need money to survive. The UK is a rich country, and the only people that make money, are the employers who take on cheap labour - and ,make a huge profit.

Mu vote is going to Labour - l want to get rid of a cruel government, who want to make the poorer

Thats the way it is, Labour feck it up and the Tories fix it.

He is a coward for not going into the tv debates - he is assuming that he will walk the election - how wrong he is.

He had the biggest chance possible of getting something out of the election - he could have scrapped the Bedroom Tax.

He could have held his head high by doing that, but him and his cronies are sticking by.

What Cameron has done to this country is appalling. I was told last week that l have no chance of getting a pay rise for the next three years, as there is no money left in the kitty.

If he gets in - he will rip into the welfare budget, again. He is making MORE cuts to defence, policing and LAS.

Where is he putting the money - probably going to send it abroad again. He will get this country into poverty - an increase in food banks

I was told the other day - that a mate of mine, has been told by ATOS that he cannot work due to a disability, and yet he can train to become an IT operator 4HOURS for one day per week, so that figures will show that unemployment has gone down by the election.

Cameron has to go on TV and prove what he has done for the voter - and that isn't much

I couldn't fix this poll if I tried. The question asked was not who will people vote for, it was which party regardless of whether a majority or not would end up with the most seats in the election. People think the Tories will end up with the most seats, and I have to say unless Miliband and Balls can come up with actual policies that will influence people to vote Labour then the Tories may well end up being the party with the most seats but needing another coalition.

Also read on the Daily Fail that if it IS a hung parliament again then the present government (election results and retirements notwithstanding) will remain in power until a new government is able to be formed. So you may end up with another few weeks of Cameron after the election if Labour are in the position of forming a coalition Arthur.

[Arthurgray50@blu]

I have loads of friends that have suffered badly by this government. When l go shopping, and see FoodBanks volunteers in supermarkets asking for food. To feed the people that are struggling to make ends meets. It angers me that we should not be in this position.

What the coalition are doing is basically hitting the poor. and they are even gloating about it. And yet, are delighted in giving millions in overseas aid

Cameron is following in Thatchers footsteps, and that bringing out anything that hits the poor and that isn't right At least she was forced to resign. Trouble is Cameron is proceeding the damage with his mate Osborne.

It's a great shame the Muppet Show doesn't exist anymore - I can think of a few contenders for new characters.

One of them is some negative guy who moans about everything and always votes Labour no matter what damage they do to the country...

[MalteseFalcon]

It is unfortunate that people are having to resort to foodbanks but I think Labour voters would be best served to remember that they were in use before the 2010 election and that was down to LABOUR policies, Labour tax and spend and borrow policies. Moan about Cameron not hitting the bankers with levies, what levy did Brown and Darling put on bankers? I used to be a proud Labour voter, and whilst I cannot stand Cameron on a personal level I trust in Cameron and Osborne to deliver Britain through the recovery of Britain more than Balls and Miliband. Unfortunately, I have a horrible feeling that in 3 months time I will be just as bitterly disappointed as I was last September when Scotland voted no to independence.

'Budget bounce' takes Tories ahead of Labour with three-point poll lead.

Meanwhile at hypocrisy HQ Ed "Two Kitchens" Miliband's misery goes on:

ED MILIBAND’S secret hedge-fund donor has invested almost £10m in a private healthcare company that makes money out of the NHS, it was revealed yesterday.

Martin Taylor, 46, was unmasked this weekend as the mystery backer who has funnelled almost £600,000 into Labour coffers over the past three years.

Taylor runs Nevsky Capital, a company based in Mayfair that manages a fund with a $14.9m (£10m) stake in UnitedHealth. The American health insurance giant, which is worth more than $100bn, has run NHS-funded GP surgeries and is bidding for other NHS work including one contract worth £1.2bn.

No wonder they wanted to keep this secret.

Can we add the one that constantly moans about Labour while the Tories are taking us back to the 1930's?
