How do you answer this guy? He's upset at the cuts to the Courts, Police, Hospital all due to Austerity but he blames Labour.
A functioning democracy requires an informed electorate.
when Tony Blair quit he knew the writing was on the wall for the economy, leaving Gordon Brown 3 years to lead the labour party, unfortunately in 2008 the UK financial crisis happened, and things went a bit pete tong.
Labours policies came under intense scrutiny, and many working class folke felt betrayed, and wanted something different. Enter the Conservative/liberal democrat era, people wanted change away from labour but wasnt to sure if the conservatives were the right party to back, hence the coalition.
The coalition did lib dems no favours whatso ever, they u-turned on all of their policies, leadership was weak against cameron. so next election people realised the lib dems were the nothing party they always have been,
then labour put forward Ed Miliband, who was seen by the public as a bit of a weirdo (Ed's brother was the one who should have led the party), and lost the election to cameron, Corbyn went far left and his appreciation of terrorist organisations just couldnt be removed from the limelight, and the party became more hardcore left wing
Corbyn entered the ring for labour, and was a crock of poop from the off, no clear set goals or agendas, always wishy washy and opinion changed with the wind as to which he felt the public wanted to hear. coupled with that moron Abbott at his side and a few other largely incompetent labour members who appear to have disdain for britain and its values and heritage, (remember the comment from Emma Thornbury regarding english george cross flags?).
,
brexit happened, cameron went, May stepped in, decided to have an election to give her longer in charge, but lost her majority and ballsed it all up meaning brexit took forever. in the meantime labour showed disdain for the general public and debates often ended with leftist screaming over the top of opposition
may was an incompetent disaster poor at negotiating, poor at managing her party, the opposition parties kept the UK in limbo for far longer than it needed to be, meaning UK investment was put on hold, affecting many peoples lives.
Labour continues it's disdain for the general public even though they have supposed started a new era in Starmer, the quote by a labour leader summed up there contempt for the joe public, by saying it was their voters that let them down.
throughout all of the above labour have consistently put unelectable muppets as the opposition meaning the general public feel they have no choice but to vote for tory, many people dont want to, myself included vote for tory, but the opposition have been far to weak, Starmer hasnt capitalised on the Tory shenanigans of the past year, he has spent most of the year hiding under a rock, with 1 or 2 excellent displays.
There is no doubt starmer can outwit BOJO so why has he not done so more often?
Starmers team aren't dynamic, nor interesting to listen to, and seem to discount what their constituents are telling them.
So yes it is labours fault. It's labours fault for not doing more to avoid the banking collapse, and it's labours fault for not fielding better opossition.
