Most of those - the voters couldn't give a rats ass about. It's their wallet which will swing them from one party to another and most people's are empty at the moment.

So without the minimum wage, people would be better off? Good logic there!

I think their greatest achievement is being in power during the longest and most succesful economic boom period in living memory, and then not having a pot to p1ss in the day it finished.

It takes some doing does that.

How many of the populaton does that affect? Taxes affect EVERYONE, as does the general state of the economy.

I was going to put something simillar but you did it very well.
I'll give it 12 months if the Toerags get in before it dawns on all the red top voters that their health sevice and education system has been wrecked by those bunch of lying, thieving, cheating plebs.

Not forgetting taking the 10p tax rate off the lowest paid workers and whacking up their National Insurance.

The minimum wage makes people who get it better off than they would have been otherwise.

I,m retired so I don,t benefit but do I resent it,s introduction ? Well no I don,t I,m very pleased it was brought in and I applaud the present government for its introduction.

Politics , Sex and Religion

And MIRAS.......



They got shut of that too.

You know, for ordinary working home owning folk.....

And married persons allowance.......

For every Minimum Wage, there a fistful of stealth taxes that claw it back from the ordinary man and woman.

Making more or less every young couple pay stamp duty when buying their first home.....until they'd creamed that bucket dry and granted a temporary repreive

How can you blame any party on a world wide recession? One of the reasons that this country is probably in more of a mess than some others is that is a hub if not the major hub for the financial world. It has had to be this way because the toerags - the last time they were in - vertually got rid of all our manufacturing industries and anything that we produced was put to one side in favour of global trade. Thanx Maggie. I do wish people would have a few days off watching the rubbish on the news, radio and the utter crap in the news papers and open their eyes. The only thing I have against any Labour government is that they seem to make everything harder with their bureaucracy.

If people really voted based on who the newspaper they bought supported then we really do have problems!

Don't matter who is in power - its a losing battle trying to get re-elected when so many companies every week are going under and people losing their jobs. More people benefitted than not with this government (myself included) in charge and took all the cream, but now the world as gone pop.......
Still don't stop certain employees going on strike at every opportunity though - lets bring the trade unions into it....
