Maybe not enough but definitely moving in a more "progressive" (dare I use that word?) direction. <br /><br />There will be plenty of clear red water between Labour and Tories next year but if you want to help keep the Tories in power that is entirely up to you. <br /><br />But please no more complaining about what they do in government. Your choice.

God help you if your born disabled sick.<br /><br />Labour today is without doubt the worse labour party I've ever seen it's a middle class party so affected by the Progress group within it, Militant now looks like school boys.<br /><br />I've written to my Union to end my political levy as I cannot see my money going to see Miliband elected.<br /><br />The Bloke has strings attached to him and I suspect Progress are pulling them New labour is dead but as Progress said not the ideology.<br /><br />I sat listening to Cruddas speaking and for god sake that's not labour, the front Bench is almost totally Progress and to the right, we have nothing left in labour now with the stupid statement about tax and spend being over.<br /><br />The issue is what is labour where is it going and do the working class want to go with what has become a joke. Tell me what is tax for if not to spend you pay your tax for the government to spend to make this country a better place. You spend tax to build a infrastructure to house the people build roads and bridges so our steel works can employ people, what do we have now a labour party so scared of the Tories they are copying it.<br /><br /><br />The labour party has a leader who rating is rock bottom and it's rock bottom and to be honest it down at the level for a reason, the bloke is close to being the worse leader of any party in history.<br /><br />Labour is moving into maybe one of the longest terms out of power it will make Thatcher period look like a week end.<br /><br />I cannot allow my political levy go to this party or in fact vote for it, UKIP was looking like a good solid protest vote till they came out with the welfare policy.<br /><br />New labour is dead long like Progress.treborchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473357437003490328noreply@blogger.com
