So the Telegraph - a right wing Tory supporting paper announces an opinion poll in favour of the party it supports- ooh what a surprise!

But I thought flocks of old socialists and young Uni types were joining Labour my the MASSES?
What happened?
The pollsters aren't talking to them

Are you on a wind up? If he cared so much about foreign competition why does he produce his products in a foreign country? Surely he should produce them in America if he cares so much about American jobs.

There are no decent politicians left in this country, they ALL follow their own personal agendas, primarily to aggrandise themselves with their party faithful, and to further their own selfish ambitions. Basically, they're all just a bunch of c**ts

I'm sure that you must realise that when he say that Mexicans are taking American jobs he is referring to certain jobs, in the service industry for instance. Virtually every major Industrial Nation uses another country to manufacture their products.Take Nissan and TaTa in this country for instance. It still makes money for the country from where that company comes from. I'm sure people would complain if a Government did not encourage foreign investment.

That is an assumption on your behalf, but I think he meant manufacturing jobs in Mexico or he wouldn't have mentioned China in the same sentence. I don't see many Chinese going to the US to take up jobs in the service sector.

A source for you.
You were cruelly exposed, politically, last time round when you repeatedly shouted down any word of Conservative strength.
Even on election day, in that delicious moment when the BBC's exit poll announced the return of a majority Conservative government, you struggled to find word that it wouldn't be so. And you looked ridiculous. And you went quiet. What a time to be alive.
You have no credibility at all. You are the soccer sauce of politics.
I'm happy to pull back quote after quote after ****ing glorious quote to illustrate it, if that is required. And I think we all know it's not.
In short: pipe down.

You could have a point there. It does look like he's made a bit of a boob.

Michael Foot all over again. Hard core labour fans get the man they want who is too left wing to get the party elected. And Clegg's toadying wiped out any remaining credible opposition. Leaving the Tories free to lurch to the right with no-one to stop them. A good time to be well off. Poor? Not so much.

You just beat me to it Dick. Whilst Cameron isn't as right wing as Thatcher. We need an affective opposition to keep the government in check (whoever is in power).

Nothing if you thought the chancellor of Germany was a "Good Egg" in the 30s.

What we now have is a labour party high on ideals but no intention to appeal to the electorate they require to win an election.
I could kind of understand if the leaders were geordie, scouse or Yorkshire socialists with a history of an impoverished background, but these aren't. They're north London, fairly wealthy background individuals.
Basically the lie that labour are fully responsible for the current financial conditions in this country went unchallenged for the last parliament and now has become a truism which the electorate will expect an apology for.
To win an election labour will need to demonstrate a sound economic plan with credibility. A thought out solution to health, housing and education, an honest approach to immigration and a defence policy that is robust.
What we have is a Chancellor who blows his big chance at budget statement time with a lame joke about a red book, nothing said on health housing and education, and half arsed comments about immigration with no clear narrative, before questionable comments about IS, middle East terror groups and some weird comments about nuclear subs without warheads. And don't get started on the codswallop about the Falklands.
