Questions for Labour

How about some straight answers to some simple questions. Don't bet on it!

  • What exactly does your party stand for now?
  • Why is it acceptable to promise holding a referendum on a new EU Treaty, then break that promise?
  • Why is it acceptable for a government to be elected on the promise of its leader that he will serve a full third term, then break that promise.
  • Why do we treat our prisoners better than our soldiers?
  • What happened to John Prescott's 10 year Transport Plan?
  • Where are the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?
  • Why does the government waste so much money?
  • Why has the tax credits system been so inefficient and expensive to administer?
  • Why does it necessarily make something better just because you spend more money on it? Does it not matter how and where excatly that money is spent?
  • Why are so many of our hospitals ridden with fatal diseases after the the record amounts of money lavished on the health service?
  • Why has NHS dentistry effectively been privatised?
  • Why can Scottish MP's vote on laws which affect only English people but the reverse isn't true?
  • Why do voters in Scotland receive over £1,000 more per head than those in England?
  • Why are voters in the north of England effectively heavily subsidised by the rest of the country. Is it a conincidence that all these areas are Labour strongholds?
  • Why is the average size of a Labour MP's constituency significantly smaller than those for other MP's? Is that fair?
  • Why, in spite of record amounts spent on education, are so many young people unable to read, write or add up properly?
  • Why have an additional one and a half million people people started receiving incpacity benefit over the last ten years? Is it a conincidence that this makes the official unemployment figures look better?
  • Why has the civil service been politicised?
  • Why are the levels of violent crime on the city's streets so high? Why has it become tacitly acceptable for young people to walk around carrying knives and guns?
  • Why has the police force become so ineffective, putting their own bureaucratic policies and procedures before protecting the public?
  • Why are we fighting a war in Afghanistan? What precisely are we trying to achieve?
  • Why is it acceptable for soldiers to lose their lives becasue they do not have the right equipment?
  • Why does Gordon Brown say there will be no more spinning before trying to lamely pretend that him calling off an election had nothing to do with opinion polls?
  • Why does Gordon Brown think he has a mandate to rule the country without anyone actually electing him?
  • Why should the public believe anything you say because your words and promises are cheap and empty?
  • Why should people take you seriously when collectively you have been serially misleading and dishonest?
