You can wave goodbye to that under a Labour government.

they seem to want to take us back to the 70's or so...
They may intend to end austerity but their policies will create more of it.
Do people just say things because they like the sound of their own propaganda?

No one has a clue what implications either party will have. You are not as educated as you think you may be on these topics because a lot of the information isn't in the public domain.
The Tories have been in power for over nine years.

If they really wanted to do any of these promises they would have done them by now.

Being literally marco polo'd up *** creak.
emmie: "they seem to want to take us back to the 70's or so... " - yep they'd love that, beer and sarnies at no 10, loony union leaders causing strife daily, income tax 33-97%. Country decaying into a Soviet Bloc outpost.....be like old times for the Trots!
//The Tories have been in power for over nine years. //

Make that four years. The previous administration was a coalition.
The current Labour leadership has great difficulty in separating the reality of the world from their small-minded jealousy of success and the income it generates.

Because Mr Corbyn and Mr MacDonald are both personally obsessed with the flawed notion that wealth must be earned on the backs of others, and the 'others' must have a share in it is irrational, and flies in the face of reality.

Mr Corbyn says he would offer Chequers to a homeless family.

Leaving aside the small issue of the fact that it is not his to 'offer' to anyone, why does he not put that noble approach into practice and take a homeless family into his £1million pound Islington abode?

As for his re-nationalisation notions - he conveniently forgets the power that nationalised industries gave militant trade unionists who promptly used it to hold the nation to ransom, and would no doubt do again.

Mr Corbyn seems unable to understand that failing to learn from history dooms him to make its mistakes all over again.

If I knew of a man with that level of dilusion, I would ensure that on no account was he ever put in charge of anything, ever.
All these promises from all parties should be made legal binding and if they are not carried out the politicians should face the true force of the law.
I agree AOG. Or more so, if a politician knowingly lies and it can be proven, they should be penalised.

The issue is, we could penalise them with our votes. Stop voting for proven liars, except we don't.
It would just add to more unemployment, they will manage with less staff, so the service you get from a parcel delivery firm will just get worse. :0)
ANOTHEOLDGIT, who would be prosecuted if a manifesto pledge were broken? The Prime Minister, the appropriate Secretary of State, Minister of State, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State etc?
Question Author
anyone at all, makes no sense AOG...
Labour's promises get ever more unrealistic. No-one really believes them, not even those who are too young to remember the 70s. It's almost as if they want to lose.
Question Author
people do believe them that's the problem, millions will vote for them no matter what they promise
//people do believe them that's the problem,//

Of course some do, and some people will vote for them even though they don't believe any of it's possible. However, there aren't enough of either for Labour to win the election, judging by the polls.

i am scared of these people, truly scared
Looks like our resident gardiner isnt too hot on global economics.

End austerity? first one needs to define it. Just becasue something is cut is not necessarily bad, for instance cutting NHS management would be a good thing.

Secondly, as pointed out above, the Tories have not been in power for 9 years. True they had the majority but in a coalition both sides have to give.

The recession that prompted the cutbacks came from two areas. One was the sub prime markets collapsing (and it was not just Bankers involved here) and second for the UK was the fact the previousl labour administration had spent the country dry (By their own admission)
Question Author
they did leave with a note saying the coffers were dry.....
Am I the only person who loved the 70's?
