The fact is, you can't win an election unless you are close to the centre ground.

The average voter sees Corbyn as too far to the left.

These people are using their position to meet their own needs.
Even if it isn't new, it still isn't right.

The centre ground thing is relatively recent Tallywagger. Started by Blair, until then it was a little more defined.

Akabula - never missing an opportunity. If YOU can find others who have done similar things from other parties you don't love, post the examples. I don't care who they are, or who they claim to represent. I'll agree they're wrong. These people are out of order and if they worked in the places most of us work in they'd be sacked.
Any bias is in your head, The point you are attempting to make is irrelevant. Just spouting the garbage any Tory MP says when being interviewed, doesn't make it right.

We are massively more in debt than we were in 2010, it's merely a question of how the figures are manipulated.
Most of us are personally worse off, austerity does not work, after 7 years, we're all worse off than before. The people foisting this upon us aren't suffering themselves, at all. Yet they can make the rules and blame it on the "legacy they took on" until it gets stale and they lose their jobs having saved enough of OUR money to retire on (to add to a lovely pension scheme).
Report akabula May 4, 2017 10:14 PM BST
We are all worse off says you SF.
I'm on a pension, well 2 actually, and thanks to the Tory party for raising the tax threshold year on year I am now £1k per year  better off.
In my situ that's a welcome sum of money.
I've seen people who claim to be in poverty with mobile phones, drinking and smoking. It's not austerity that's the problem it's a lack of prioritising.
Report STUDYFORM May 4, 2017 10:23 PM BST
Well bully for you.
I'm at work. VAT - Bills - costs of everything make my lifestyle less easy than it was.
Because austerity isn't a problem for you, doesn't mean it isn't for everyone else.

What percentage of the population are drinking, smoking or have a phone (or maybe eat or wear clothes, heaven forbid), in your opinion.
Perhaps austerity only exists if you can SEE the poor sods suffering and starving.

The ones who are REALLY taking advantage are all like the ones I've shown you all over this thread. Yet you seem to have no issue with them!

ESA/ Bedroom Tax/ Those with no jobs popping out umpteen kids to get bigger houses and bigger benefits have to be paid by somebody.

I feel more sympathy for those working full time and still having to use food banks, live in sh1t holes, no chance of saving anything , certainly not afford a spare bedroom! So that they can pay their taxes so the feckless get a nice 3 bedroom house of the council etc, work shy claiming ESA still managing a holiday to Spain.

MP's expenses are another issue which members of all parties are guilty off.
Report akabula May 4, 2017 10:33 PM BST
So what was your point of this thread?
(All from the Tory party bar 1)
Was it to show those who voted to cut ESA?
If so why all the other cr4p?
Are these expense claims illegal?
Do MPs from other parties not claim expenses?
"He is a fan of fracking" - Oh lets hang him for that crime.
"Employs his wife as an office manager" - Is this against the rules.

An absolute car crash of a post.

SF resorting to his default mode of personal attack when someone criticises his posts.
These have been written by a group of bitter left wing loonies. Corbynites.
2 Ayrshire SNP MPs hired each others children as researchers. I'm sure if you dug deep enough you'd find this as widespread.
If not illegal or against the rules why bring it up. Attack the rule if you see this as a problem.
If expenses claimed are within the rules why bring them up?
And again "He's a fan of fracking"? Why is this mentioned?
And this beauty "A former friend said ................." No name of this former friend to back up the smears.
Did you read these before posting?

Politicians laugh at you when you put them in categories like left, centre, right, liberal, conservative, centre left and what not. Its so common to see people nowadays blame the country's troubles on someone, just because he is liberal or left. Just look at how people behave on this forum. You give an opinion and you are immediately put into one category. If I say something in favor of muslim immigrants, i'd be called a liberal probably.

The politicians are there to make a living. They are not there to solve your issues. The trick is in making you think that's what they are for. If I had the ability to claim 2k Pounds for a toilet leak, i'll claim it. If someone tried to change the law to prevent me from doing that, i'll bring him in on the con. At the end of the day, the group of politicians that you so fondly put in groups belong to one family. And they know people can't do anything as long as they keep the people divided and keep exchanging govts among each other.

That is how it has always been. And will continue to be. As long as there is need for people to be governed, there will be politicians faking to fulfill that need.

There is a growing movement to dispose of (USELESS) career politicians. Unfortunately the establishment morphs/bribes/flatters the iconoclasts into ... a new breed of career politicians.  I'm afraid it will have to be fire and blood.  Which will delay the new breed of career politicians by ... too little time.

I liked corbyn.  I loved seeing the smug careerists getting it in the face.
Unfortunately the PLP/careerist did a job on him twice with the media egging them on.
Now we face a return to what in the party.  Cooper, Chemical Smith, Starmer(how long has he been an MP), and to finish you off - KINNOCK (where did he come from - europe!!!)  Another careerist parachuted into a safe constituency.

I don't see corbyn finishing of Labour.  It will be the above suits who are only interested in themselves, you will get and that puts to bed the idea of a radical alternative to the Tory lot.
