Why Labour cannot lose…
In no particular order, some reasons why Labour will, one way or another, win the next general election either as a government or as a majority party in coalition. Please feel free to add your own…
- It promises benefits and big spending to country addicted to ‘free’ money and profligacy
- It has managed to position itself as the party of fairness to an ill-informed, benumbed electorate
- It does not discriminate in any way whatsoever, so the good are as bad as the bad, and the bad are as good as the good – anything and anyone goes
- It does child-care, education and thinking for you, so personal/public responsibility need not be exercised
- It promotes ideological fancy, which is much easier to cultivate than practical, workable policies
- It still maintains an entrenched tribal loyalty in parts of the UK despite it having long since having forgotten working people
- It has created a generation unable to think and critically analyse the follies of voting Labour thanks to its bankrupting of the education system
- It is not the Conservative Party, nor the Lib Dems, which for many people is reason enough to vote Labour
