Don't vote Labour

HSBC will leave, followed by other banks no doubt, taking with them graduate jobs and putting a dent in our economy.

And do you want our assets to be sold off?

Labour want to mess up the economy and also take more from those who do well for themselves through hard work to give to lazy people who won't get a job. This is real life, not Robinhood.

Ed Miliband is a champagne socialist, living in his 2 million pound house, wanting to tax others for doing the same. The only reason he wants to give 16/17 year olds the right to vote is because he knows they're likely to vote for him. They can't even get married without their parents' permission so why should they decide how the country should be run?

This is not real life. I assume you're referring to people on benefits. Most unemployed people are that way for reasons totally beyond their control, like the fact that we're still coming out of a big recession. There are certainly some lazy people out there, but the idea that loads of unemployed people are that way because they don't want to work is nothing more than Tory propaganda.

Surely there are more reasons to trust someone seeking to introduce laws which will negatively affect his own assests, than someone doing the same for everyone elses?

the labour party is a parasitic nest of vile, slippery, disgusting and slimey metropolitan invertebrates that have a philosophy of class-guilt/martyrdom, envy and destruction. they will juggle with the economy and they will prey on the votes of the gullible and the dumb to assault the wealthy and the able. labour are simply a party of spineless and pathetic political-correctness. they are in favour of forcing private moralities (e.g. forcing multiculturalism, accepting more and more immigration, etc), they are in favour of forcing equality of outcome (e.g. feminism) and they are in favour of totally disregarding individual liberty for the sake of stopping the possibility of hurt feelings (e.g. ed miliband a day or so ago proposed *banning* islamophobia!)

this isn't to say the other parties are that much better. the labour party are simply the representatives of pure disgrace.

Do you think that any other party has the same strength to create Apprenticeships? Just curious!

Firstly, he is rich of course, however, he will still be a subjected to the mansion tax, and he is showing that people aren't all rich pigs and will in fact represent those who need a voice.

Umm... no? For starters, that's the most obvious bluff ever. For seconds... just what? It says right there in that article that the proposed levy is 800m and the last Tory one was 9bn. Rest assured the banks won't suddenly all leave the UK.

Zerothly, Stop reading Ayn Rand. Firstly, nobody wants to 'mess up the economy' and your portrayal is childish and pretty much flat wrong on progressive taxation. The reason we have a progressive income tax is that the poorest still have to spend as much as everyone else on food and housing and so they have less disposable income as a percentage of total income despite the progressive income tax.

Why, why would that matter? For that matter I hope David 'We're all in this together' Cameron is not living in a 2m house? Oh... right. The Conservative leader can be as rich as he wants to be, it's the opposition who simply must elect a pauper.

Yes David Cameron is rich. When did I say he wasn't? I'm just saying that Ed Miliband boasts about being the party for the working man but he was never a working man. How would he understand what it's like to live the life of a middle class man? He uses people for his image.

And yes, poor people must spend the same amount of food and everything even thiugh they earn less. But we can't all earn the same. We will all not earn the same because THAT is not fair. A surgeon's job is more demanding than a 9-5 office job. The surgeon does not deserve to work all those hours and keep 60% of their earnings. Even the notorious banker who will works 80-100 hours a week does not deserve to be taxed so heavily. They earn a lot but they work hard for their money. They work hard to even get the job. It's not fair that someone earning £150,000 should be in the same tax band as someone earning £1 million.

I was not saying that everyone cheats the system to get benefits. I was just saying that a lot of people are getting too much in benefits. They are better off that some people who actually work. How will that give them motivation to go out and seek work?

And why would large American investment banks like JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs stay in London when they can easily move to a country that doesn't tax them so heavily? Look at what happened in France (although I doubt it will be AS serious as what happened over there I think the UK is heading in the same direction).

Don't worry I won't.

Just went on benefits calculator out of curiosity to see how much a single mum of my age would get.

£22000, tax free. This would put her on more than I am after a year of being a graduate and having racked up mountains of debt.
I am sure there are cases where people are using the system for what it was designed for; a safety net. But you cannot deny that many of the uneducated masses see the benefits system as a lucrative career choice. How else would a young promiscuous girl who left school at the age of 16 hope to be on anything like that much?

13 years of the Labour government, sends a shiver down your spine or makes your blood boil? Look what they did to UK, they have become one giant hate magnet. Alot of the mess in Britain in all traces back to them and the EU.
