Probably not. Those who are determined to support the left will talk of 'Tory scum patronising the electorate' and those determined to support the right will talk of 'New Labour being condescending towards the electorate'. Whichever way you look at it the political class look down on the 'little people'. The Lib Dems will, of course, promise anything to anybody to get their noses in the trough.DiscoveredJoyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300239909689336895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-77552199475080404362010-04-28T22:57:39.871+01:002010-04-28T22:57:39.871+01:00No wonder people have lost all respect for the pol...No wonder people have lost all respect for the political process, political parties, politicians and authority.<br /><br />After having what anyone would consider a reasonable debate with an ordinary everyday voter.

...Yeah, this is going to drive support to the BNP.<br /><br />In the South, if Cameron makes a good showing tomorrow night, it'll probably get the Tories a couple of percentage points, too - Clegg's policies aren't well thought-out ("are you proposing border controls on the M5?" "what about someone who's been here illegally for 9 years?"). That will hopefully be enough to get up to overall majority territory.<br /><br />But in the North, there's no credible opposition party. Dyed in the wool Labour voters won't vote Tory under any circumstances. The Lib Dems are a joke as their "intellectual" middle-class rhetoric means nothing in working-class towns. UKIP are, again, middle-class and South only, not to mention falling apart at the seams. Which just leaves the BNP, who will benefit. Not as much as they could, though - people still recognise them as being horrid racist gits. I expect <b>very</b> low turnouts in a lot of safe Labour seats, simply because "there's nobody else to vote for".<br /><br />Rochdale, a swing to Lib Dem in 2005 with a narrow margin, is probably now a safe seat for them.<br /><br />(w/v "ampless" - bet Brown wishes he was "micless")The King of Wronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439966612208152425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-90910247648230184122010-04-28T18:50:53.307+01:002010-04-28T18:50:53.307+01:00What has New Labour ever done for the traditional ...What has New Labour ever done for the traditional Labour voter?<br /><br />The current Labour Party is so out of touch with its voters that it is a scandal that they are allowed to call them selves the Labour Party.<br /><br />Brown's comment when actually having met a real voter sums it up nicely.<br /><br />I notice Dave keeps well away from real voters too.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146467728776928724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-53571031274832553202010-04-28T18:50:35.673+01:002010-04-28T18:50:35.673+01:00Well considering that Labour stand for encouraging...Well considering that Labour stand for encouraging 3rd world immigration for "social reasons" as Andrew Neather boasted; that neither of the other 2 officially approved parties are willing to say anything against that; the Labour, Tories & LudDims engage in war crimes, genocide & worse; & that only the BNP have the integrity to say that dissecting human beings, while still alive, to promote the racial programme of Adolf Hitler is a bad thing perhpaps the BNP desreve more votes & the genocide promoting parties somewhat fewer.<br /><br />Or does anybody think the BNP should have kept quiet about our government letting our duly appointed police engage in racial murder as all the organs of the state have?neil craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157898238945726349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1776540139043792242010-04-28T18:50:35.674+01:002010-04-28T18:50:35.674+01:00Wouldn't be surprised either!
