Would Anyone Vote Labour ?
In light of events over say the past 5 years or so, could I ask if there is any serving member of HM Forces who would vote Labour?
Many thanks TSM |
You could also ask any ex member and I think you would get a definate 'NO'.

This ones easy:
Im not on the dole I have always worked I am not an immigrant I have only the 1 job I have only the 1 Identity I have 2 children, both of which were born before Gordon Browns so no freebies for me! I don't live in a council house I dont live in a housing association house I dont live in a bedsit Im not PC and never have been I cannot see whats wrong with hunting? So I guess Im not a Labour voter nor ever have been! |
Also add to the list:
I don't have a criminal record I pay my taxes I'm faithful to my wife |
Of course there are. Some. And the reasons are the same for the forces as life in general.
The main one is: most people don't change their vote. Where I live, Margaret Thatcher would get elected if she wore a red rosette and said, "I have a social conscience". So would a donkey. If that were not the case, marginal constituencies would be unimportant at election times. The forces are another type of constituency: for them, read Ken Livingstone and donkey. On the whole. Tin hat on and waiting for all the "I weigh up the issues every time, and vote as necessary", responses. CG |
I bought a conservatory. For every pound spent on the conservatory I had to earn more than double. Now some :mad: face wants to make me pay an additional local council community charge because I bought a conservatory.
Instead I could have banked cost of the conservatory in an ISA and saved that tax. What :mad: services are my council going to give me because I have a :mad: conservatory? I had a mind to visit my local police station and leave a urine sample so I could be added to the national database. Unfortunately the door was locked and there was no letter box.:} |

Sheez.. I'm a colonial and I can answer that question!!!
What were you guys thinking??? tut .. tut.. tut.. |
Yes. Your point? Also several relatives, serving and ex.

No, I would not vote for them ever. They have been a total disaster for this country. Parasite is too nice a word for them. Many years ago Frank Dobson was my MP and he was stupid enough to come canvassing at my door. I told him that I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire and to get his fat useless arse off my property. I'm just itching for Glenda Jackson to turn up one day.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry. For a minute I thought it was a cinical, alternative-humour question. IIRC, just prior to the fleet sailing south to remove unwanted types from Soveriegn southern islands, there were three VSO's (one RN, one RAF and one Army) being interviewed on the box. The Naval VSO stated that following the Labour party's wet and whining 'We don't need to send in the troops. Let us resolve this situation through diplomacy' charade, he thought Her Majesties Armed forces would not be able to operate under a future Labour government. Sounds like wisdom and foresight to me. OK, I'm no longer serving. I did 18 years loyal service, so maybe you will allow me to make my comment. I concur with mutleyfour, Regie Mental and SirPeterHardingsLovechild, so I guess I am not alone in my thoughts on this issue. As an ex-serving member of HM forces, would I have and would I now vote Labour? Would I F:mad: K |
Ex-RAF. No never.

Wandering into my local bakery the other day I purchased a 'Gingerbread person' for my daughter. Back in the days before Tony this would have been described as a 'Gingerbread Man' . Now maybe I am being insensitive but I cannot recall any religion that coverts gingerbread or indeed do I have any friends or relations who's anatomy is made out of gingerbread or for that matter has chocolate covered legs! Exactly who are we marginalizing by
calling it a 'Gingerbreadman' ? I could be oversimplifying matters but what kind of government do we have that allows this disease of PC to continue ? |
You may want to look in "Jet Blast" for a thread marked "Mr. Blair, look after the UK first".

These will swing but more likely every 2-3 elections on the principle of fiar play and give the other guy a chance. While these middle voters contribute to the massive swings. If it is the centre ground with 20% undecided. They are crucial to who wins - if they vote. It is not a given that the forces are always one vote one way. Many will follow their fathers and continue that way. Many will be politically unaware and while they would probably vote right probably don't even register and if they do might not vote at all. In some respects Labour, under Wilson/Healey did all right - C130, F4, Buccanneer, Harrier, Nimrod and no doubt many other fine projects - CVS? Maggie fixed the pay and the Falklands but also gave us John Nott. A cursory look suggests that we used to do quite well under labour and less well under tory. I suspect Pr00ne will be able to give a more solid answer. And my answer to the question? Over my dead body. |
Labour- Utterly Utterly Useless :ugh:
Libs- Utterly Utterly Utterly Useless :} Conservative- Utterly Utterly Utterly Utterly Useless :eek: Independent Party....... Hmmm there's a thought..... 'UK Ex-Mil Independent Party'. Or maybe I've been watching too much tele again. Advo PS: Someone else can have my vote, NON of them are worth it. |
