truman Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 You mean the government then? A person who seized power despite not being voted in, has no mandate to rule and had to bribe another poliitical party to get the chair. If Gordon Brown had managed to get agreement from the lib dems and formed a coalition with them, would your feelings be the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mecky Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 So most of us workers object to corrupt union gits claiming they speak for the "working man" when actually they don't. Really? Have you asked most people? ---------- Post added 05-07-2013 at 14:12 ---------- If Gordon Brown had managed to get agreement from the lib dems and formed a coalition with them, would your feelings be the same?

foxy lady Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 If you can't accept stuff then that's you're own lookout I see that the Labour Party has now brought in the police to investigate. Who do you want to win this one? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-23192888 Labour is to refer a report into allegations of irregularities in the selection of an election candidate in Falkirk to the police. Party leader Ed Miliband has said an internal inquiry into events shows people were being signed up to Labour without their knowledge. Two local party members have been suspended and Labour HQ has stepped in to run the selection race. The Unite union has said the report is a "stitch-up" designed to smear it. Its general secretary Len McCluskey denies claims that his union, one of Labour's biggest financial backers, tried to rig the contest to select a general election candidate in Falkirk and said on Thursday he had "no trust" in the party after the row.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I see that the Labour Party has now brought in the police to investigate. Who do you want to win this one? That question recalls a quotation from Henry Kissinger. Asked which side he wanted to win, in the then Iran/Iraq war, he supposedly said, "It's a pity that they can't both lose."

I wonder whether the situation in Syria is the same as it is dragging Al Qaeda and the Taliban into the meat grinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillpig Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 What will happen to the Labour party if UNITE withdraw their financial support? Is there an argument for public funding for political parties denying Unions and others seeking to promote their interests politically from making donations to any political party? ---------- Post added 05-07-2013 at 17:02 ---------- Unite, working for the rights and conditions of working people, god they're terrible aren't they?? tell me, what aristocratic family are you from? Unite, working to feather the nests of the union barons and keep the class war going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Unite only bought Ed Miliband 3 years ago. If they have an extended warranty they should be able to take him back and exchange him for one that works as properly.
