Election Fever

Do you remember the disaster for labour at the EU / Local Elections I did not know whether to laugh, or cry. Maybe Gordon Brown is not the right figure head for this country, but at the end of the day neither is any of the other parties, at this precise moment in time… Why do I say that…

It goes like this. Tory policies have in the past, and it will never change, been good for the working individual that is unless you sit on the board of directors, own your own or some piece of another’s company or looking to reinstate Fox Hunting. As far as Joe Soap is concerned, no matter how much The Tory leader Mr David Cameron tries to be seen walking to the shops for a bottle of milk and his daily paper, or embracing a Hoody or Chav, remember it looks good for business, but when his guard is down, his concerns for poor Joe Soap fly out the window.

If you put the Tory leader or any other party leader (if it comes to push or shove) in to office this time around believing he/they will do a better job for this country, then you are still getting your Christmas presents from Santa Clause.

I ask you. One idea put forward by Mr Kit Malthouse of the opposition party is to scrap all tax completely with the exception of VAT. and move taxes over to being on VAT. One report I read estimated it would raise Value Added Tax to around 120% percent as opposed to the 17.5% percent at the moment. Stop and think about it for a second 120%, an Item costing £1.00 which could buy you maybe two loafs of bread would cost you £2.25p at the low end, and here is something for you gamers out there, if you take an average price for the Play Station games machine around say £300.00 and add your VAT. to that price, allowing for the 17.5 that is already on the games machine, that would add another 105.5% percent to that particular product doubling its price.

You can’t eat drink and survive on the Play Station so lets go back to that loaf of bread, if it will more than double the price of bread what is it going to do to other life essentials. This is just one of the pre-election ideas from the Tory Party and you still want vote for a party that has no idea on how to get our country back on its feet.

So you see I have a bit of a dilemma. While I am unhappy with the labour party at this moment in time, do I still vote Labour? when the time comes, if not, then who do I give my vote too. I need to vote for someone. (don’t I?)

I believe a vote for the other parties will not work either, because in truth it would appear that they’re as bad as each other. You just need to look at the expenses row across all parties. Labour may have a few right wing policies and have been seen as naughty boys (they’re all guilty), but at the end of the day they have done more for the pensioner, the working man/woman and yes even the business man has little to moan about over their time in office than any other party ever has.

If you put one of the other parties in to office pensioners and working individuals will suffer as they take back if they can, that which Labour has given to workers and pensioners. Is that not also known as bully boy tactics stealing from the most vulnerable in society, which in truth have no teeth to bite back, broadening the gap between the rich and the poor even further.

No one has proved their worth more than Gordon Brown. If anybody can pull us out of a recession it is him. Do not vote in someone who has no track record, is unable to stop jumping on band wagons, does not know is own way home and thinks VAT is away to put this country back on her feet. Don’t vote a none starter in or I feel that the hole we are now crawling out of, thanks to a man who knows money problems backward and a proven track record to back it up, will suddenly collapse and we start again. That is those of us not at the top of the Tory money tree.

Some Labour party members are saying Mr. Brown does not communicate to well… It would not bother me if he only spoke gibberish… he is the right money man for the job to take our country out of this mess and put us back at the top of the tree again. If I remember rightly our and other countries problems started in the good old U.S of A so do not use it as an excuse to put an unsuitable party with no experience into office… Well, I guess I do know who to vote for after all (when the time comes)… Don’t leave it to others… Don’t moan and groan if the Tory party do get in and you don’t like their policies… If you do not vote you have no right to moan about party policies…

Remember! whether you are a Labour party supporter, a Tory party supporter, a Liberal supporter or an Independent supporter, which ever party you vote for this is not about who’s wife looks best in what dress or who loves a Hoody. It’s about getting this country back on its feet… O’ and by the way don’t blame the recent Greece and Spain money problems on Gordon Brown either… When the time comes use your vote. If you are enjoying the extra bonuses the Labour party have put your way then vote to keep them. As sure as apples grow on trees, if an other party gets into power at this particular time one, our country goes back down the drain. Two, you will loose those extra bonuses or they will have a good try to take them back and three, better the devil you know and not a pretender.
