harvey19 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 and its all irrelevant as we have another 4 years of a 5 year coalition. Maybe Labour will have some policies by then. I think the coalition will be in a very strong position in time for the next election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone on this forum is in any position to talk crystal balls. We don't know what the future holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espadrille Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I am afraid we have predominantly left wing media in this country: BBC1 BBC2 BBC news 24 Radio 1 radio 2 radio 4 radio 5 all local BBC stations ITV The Grauniad The Mirror The Independent Many Many local Papers The Voice etc You seem to have forgotten The Daily Mail The Sun The Daily telegraph The Times and the last time I checked, The Sun and Daily Mail had the largest circulation in the country. Its not the amount of Left Wing newspapers we have, it is the amount of papers bought and the effect the news has on the buying public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eckerslike Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I think you will find that Smarmy Dave's rating's are falling. You seem to have been rather selective in what you've reported from YouGov. Labour is the party most people would like to see run the country: Polls currently included in the average Pollster/Client End Date C L LD Lead Weighting YouGov/Sunday Times 2011-02-25 36 44 10 Lab +8 YouGov/Sun 2011-02-24 38 42 10 Lab +4 YouGov/Sun 2011-02-23 38 44 11 Lab +6 YouGov/Sun 2011-02-22 37 43 9 Lab +6 YouGov/Sun 2011-02-21 36 42 11 Lab +6 ICM/Guardian 2011-02-20 35 38 18 Lab +3 Ipsos-MORI/Reuters 2011-02-12 33 43 13 Lab +10 ComRes/Independent on Sunday (O) 2011-02-10 36 42 11 Lab +6 Angus Reid/ 2011-02-10 34 40 11 Lab +5 Populus/Times 2011-02-06 36 39 11 Lab +3 This average 6% lead (based on uniform swing) would give Labour a 78 seat majority. The cuts have yet to start. All that is as maybe. I have no doubt that the current coalition are unpopular in the polls at the moment as they are having to clear up the economic mess the country is in and that is never going to make them popular. However back to the poll that I reported. If as you say Labour are ahead in the polls it looks even worse for Miliband. He is more unpopular than Brown and around 50% less popular than Cameron. Labour picked the wrong leader. In 4 years time that will count for a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Its time for a future of Independent MP's who look after their electorate rather than their parties backhanded policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 People who think that Labour would do a good job (they didn't for 13 years) are seriously deluded. They all but wrecked this country in virtually everything they did. They must have very short memories and you think the Tories did a good job for the previous 18 years, with mass unemployment, riots, strikes, the shutting down of UK industries and by selling businesses to foreign owners, running down of services, poll tax, deregulation of the banks etc? The list goes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list goes on Just when was the Winter of Discontent? I could have sworn that came right after the IMF bailout of the British economy and happened when Callaghan was LABOUR Prime Minister.
