| Momentum and the Trade Unions have been allowed to take over the Labour Party and that means they'll be unelectable for a very long time, while they promise everyone can have everything they want for nowt including re-nationalising industries en-masse at a cost of who knows what. It will all be funded by borrowing and much, much higher taxes and make no mistake it won't be corporations and the top 5% that pay for their wish list, they are highly mobile and masters of avoiding tax - you're all deluded if you don't think that bill is coming straight to Mr and Mrs Average.
On the flip side the Tories want to make us slaves to the market and small government, spending nowt in a utopian wealth creation model that never trickles down and leaves essential public services badly underfunded - Hobsons choice eh!
New Labour were onto something with their third way model, genuinely occupying the centre ground understanding that lower taxes and corporations create wealth, but using the mechanics of government to distribute and invest in public services, but for the global financial crisis it might have turned out very differently.
What I yearn for is a party that understands that occupying that central ground is pretty much all of us really want, if you work hard you become wealthier, but pay your way - if you can but choose not to work, then you get nowt. All the other stuff, defence, education, health etc. should be a given, and should have the funding it needs, no decent person would argue with that.

| I agree Frank but moderation in politics has given way to populism and parties and people are more polarised than ever.
97-2010 seems like a dream now. Not sure how that 3rd will be making a return for some time.

If we start a new party because the old one completely failed I suppose the name is irrelevant but because it did fail and is a new party I assume it will automatically start 12 points behind the Tories in the first polls. I don't see that as a problem!

| I can only assume that the 37 who are voting for the conservatives are depressed bulls fans who have decided to give up on life completely and want to drag the rest of the population of Bradford into the abyss with them.
After the Tories win I guarantee you will all be paying extra tax and national insurance.
For all of you who are millionaires you will be fine. You will all be able to pay extra for health care and social care, send your kids to private schools who have loads of resources and be able to afford to buy a house.
The rest of us can just enjoy getting poorer watch our public services be slowly dismantled . Whilst at the same time we will be told if you wo0rk hard you will reach your potential. 9trouble is it is a bit like heaven we will only be equal with the Tories friends when we are all turned to dust )

| I'd be curious to see the votes again now tbh. Most of those were from just after it was called. It seems another world.

| You can't trust the polls at all, especially after the last time.
Plus there are all those young voters who say that they intend to go and vote, but on the day probably won't bother. Especially when they look out of the window and see that it's raining.

I'm hoping the rain and threat of terrorist attacks will put the old people off from voting.
I'm certainly not offering to give my elderly neighbours a lift down....
[sizeJust so people don't think that I'm horrible and selfish - I don't really have any elderly neighbours. Just two middle aged UKIP voters, who I will also not be offering a lift to. Thank you.[/size

Maybe you would find Jacob Rees mogg more palatable.
He would be able to give you advice on how to spend your millions
