Yesterday I had a job interview with two cockney blokes in attendance.. And can you vote Labour.. Forget about all my ramblings and vote Labour.. That interview has definitely changed my mind.. This one cockney bloke give me an insight how politics really worked under the Labour Govt.. His wife was fairly high up in the party.. And he insisted it was the right vote for me..
So on May 7th I hope all of you, family, friends and factory workers vote Labour.. Because they are willing to change massively.. I'm going to be campaigning for Labour.. He also give me an insight on how the Conservatives are trying to flog the UK..
The awkward moment when a Welsh Club become the Champions of England.. shh
The Swansea Way.. To upset the odds.
If people in Wales vote Labour they'll be worse off. Most of the problems people currently complain about (NHS/Schools etc) are currently devolved and Labour have taken us to near the bottom of the European tables for nearly everything. They never have enough money to invest in the NHS or schools, but always endless finance to build narcissistic projects in Cardiff.
If that doesn't scare you enough, imagine a Labour/SNP coalition, where the Scots are dictating what can be spent and where. They already get more money than the rest of the UK because of the Barnett formula, how do you think it'll work out if they get into power? Not to mention their intentions to block our nuclear deterrent. The whole scenario is terrifying.
Just read Private Eye to see what the Tories get up to, Labour are no angels but at least they are the party for hard working families like most on this site.If Mr Cameron gets back in watch Vat go up and our services cut back to the bone.

Try re-reading Private Eye and you might see the myth of Labour being the party "for hard working families" completely exposed.
Millibland gets in, watch all taxes go up, borrowing go up and services cut back to the bone.
On balance you've made me more determined to vote for anyone other than Labour. Well done.
Good luck with the job hunt.
An enquiring mind may well wonder if the interview was for a job generated due to the current government's running of the economy... and if the same job would have been created under Labour...
I know the Tories are the party to manage the economy, and Labour can't be trusted etc etc, but I'm not entirely sure a) exactly what the Tories did (that Labour wouldn't have done) in the last 5 years to rescue our economy, and b) exactly what Labour would do differently in the next parliament to put our economy at risk. Apart from zero hours contracts of course, which let's be honest are an utter abomination.
Despite the protestations that this is actually a choice between two diametrically opposed economic viewpoints, it's difficult to see the substance of those claims.
I've already been dismissive of the Tory pledge of £8bn for the NHS on the other thread.
But this is a fine example of the economic illiteracy of Labour on their "headline" measure of the Mansion Tax. Always fun watching a politican get Brillo'd.
Notwithstanding the fact the proceeds of this tax have already been spent six times over, Labour's inability to answer basic questions on thresholds, rates and which independent experts they have relied upon to validate their claims over revenue receipts just goes to show what an incompetent shower they really are. This is a flagship policy FFS.

Zero Hours contracts are less than 1% of employment out there. There's plenty of scope for people to want them, the qestion is why it's been hyped up as a major problem - especially when Labour MPs have used them as have Unite.
The problem is Milliband seems oblivious to a lot of workplace changes. Plenty of people have become self-employed. Milliband argues that shows how poor the job market and economy are - a gross misunderstanding. Plenty of people want to run their own business, have the flexibility that entails.
Milliband refused to engage with IPSE - as a result their election supplement features the main 6 leaders with details of how they would affect contractors. Milliband's page remains blank.
Granted, abuses in the construction industry are pretty blatant; Milliband's dogmatic view of the self-employed is a slap in the face to people who set up their own businesses.

2.3% actually. And it's the growth that is the issue. I couldn't care less if Labour are hypocritical about it ... both major parties are a complete shower.
I think it's a bit ambitious to think that the reason for people becoming self-employed is because they're choosing the flexibility of that.

Ouch. They're not very good are they. Either of them.
What a depressing choice. And people wonder why the SNP have gained such traction in Scotland, and UKIP in swathes of England.
Well, fair play to SNP on one aspect - funding they get is out of proportion, in their favour. They seem too look to hold a balance of power they don't really deserve.
Sadly Plaid don't seem willing to take on the SNP with regards to the way they benefit to the deficit of Wales.

no, Leanne Wood is far more interested in being seen as Nicola Sturgeon's BFF than on actually thinking about what is in Wales' best interests.
And her supporters seem to lap it up.
There are lots to admire the SNP for - they have managed to get through this campaign with almost no challenge on their almost incredible cock up on the projection of Scotland's finances during the referendum - Sturgeon said in response ' everyone makes mistakes' and has received no grief for it whatsoever.
Also have got away with the whole 'progressive politics' nonsense while almost simultaneously voting through a payrise which sees Sturgeon paid more than Cameron as the highest paid politician in the UK (and yes, I know she gives a tiny amount of it back - it's irrelevant). No wonder she's anti austerity when her and her husband earn way more than £200k pa from their roles in the SNP and her mother's on the payroll as well - imagine having to cut back on public expenditure - they may earn a bit less then.

I'm all for slating Plaid but they did get the SNP to commit to parity of funding under Barnett as part of their manifesto last week.

Only parity as in Scotland continues to receive the same unfairly high proportion and Wales would as well.
Ah well, bugger all the people that are struggling in England eh? Why shouldn't they fund free prescriptions for wealthy people in Cardiff or free tuition for Scottish kids? After all, they're bloody English aren't they? Stole our coal etc etc.
