Lost the will to live!

[Dodger666]

Alistair Darling today claims the Labour Party hierarchy is like a football team that has "lost the will to live".

If that's true, then they must know how the majority of the population must feel after 12 years of a Labour Government.

The problem is that they continued with pretty much the same agenda as the Tory governments before them. And if you vote them out, you'll only be replacing them with much of the same. This is not intended as a defence of Labour, I'm merely pointing out that with the current choices available, it really doesn't matter which party is in power.

I agree with the first poster, i remember the exact same moans and complaints at the end of the 17 years of the thatcher reign and it had been so long just struggling to exist in the divided society, but the moans were from the working class people , at least there is less divide now, infact most poeple now have the same moans.

I can't find the origin of this quote but here goes.....

It doesn't matter who you vote for, the government still gets in

And as far as I can see we do not seem to have much of a choice this time around. And not many of the candidates will have had much life experience before wanting to tell us all how to live our lives.

hey ho time for another quote...

the more things change, the more they stay the same.

As the majority of MPs are only in it to feather their own nests to win votes they attempt not to upset any section of the population that keeps them there. This was true especially under Blair but the clone Cameron is also going along this path. It's hard to tell the difference!

Margaret Thatcher was a conviction politician, These lot should be called convict politicians!

Yes I agree, vastly overpaid for the very little they do.

I disagree that replacing Labour will not make a difference. It will make a significant difference for the poor and middle classes. The tax burden of this debt mountain we now have is more likely to be spread evenly under the Tories than be dumped on the middle classes, as it will under Labour. Poor people expect to get poorer.
