Thread Name: BS: A caring Government??
Subject: RE: BS: A caring Government??
I am a member of the Labour Party. I have been knocking on doors for 5 weeks so I know how many people feel.

When in opposition you can say anything and we did.

Now we are in government we do things. Somethings, far too many, we do wrong. I wont list them all - you all have a list. The abolition of the 10p was a stupid mistake but I guess most people will be compensated.

I wont bore you with what we've got right but I remain a member because I think the Labour Party is an organisation for getting things done and clearly I think we have got more right than wrong and I do think we care much about justice and the re-distribution of wealth than the Tories.

By and large people don't vote for the re-distribution of wealth so we have tried to do it by stealth.

Alternatives? I have a few, but then again too few to mention!

To day we will be judged and that's the way it should be.
