Don't you even remember the Thatcher years?? You want to bring back a party that wanted to bring massive cuts to public services, amongst other things? They don't look after the poor, which isn't going to have a great effect on our society, think back to last time they were in power.
Labour have massively increased spending on health and education, brought in the minimum wage, the working families tax credit, the child tax credit, increased child benefit, the new deal, doubled the aid budget and cancelled debt, brought in the european social chapter, the human rights act, boosted workers rights, reached an historic agreement in Northern Ireland, devolution, expanded the provision of childcare, scrapped the sick piece of discrimination that was section 28, cut overall crime by 30 per cent, slashed child poverty and has the best overall economic record in decades.
Remember, it's not only Labour and Conservatives who count, every debate about politics seems to start comparing the two to one another. So many people think it'll be a wasted vote to vote anyone else, it's that way of thinking that's stopping anyone else from moving forward.
