Labour tied with the Lib Dems on just 18 percent in latest Westminster poll

Sally Chatterjee

Dire for Labour.

But there are still close to one in five people willing to vote for a government that stood alongside Bush to launch illegal wars, for a Cabinet that tried to exempt MP's expenses from the FOI Act or for a PM who must surely be the worst Chancellor in British history. They really should polling single digit levels, no?

Brown and Labour are on the fringes of a polling/electoral black hole, a point where the laws of political physics break down.

Anyone who remembers my post in the last thread - well I think we had better forget it.

Maybe ....

That 18% may well be close to the minimum represented by Labour's basic client state, those who know that their easy life will probably be over with a change of government.

I too, cannot believe that there are STILL people willing to vote for a clearly Corrupt Labour Party.

Where is their sense of honour or decency?

I think the lowest ever Tory score was 18.5% in a Gallup poll in January 1995 right at the height of Blair's honeymoon. So Gordon is certainly proving to be a record breaker!!!

No. The single digit levels are their IQ.

Brown still doesn't get it...or rather, doesn't want to hear.
Even if Labour's support was less than 10 per cent he'd be clinging on.

I vote labour i cannot understand how labour gets every ounce of blame for expenses, when the tory leader took a 350 k mortgage on the public expense, this is a mad reaction from the public that makes no sense. Is this just the elites trying to get rid of the 50% tax rates.

Dirty Euro

It is disgrace that that labour mp cameron was taking a 350k mortgage. i hope the tory leader can do something about cameron.

You can't?

Heard of the client state, have you, that has the vote for no discernible, sane reason, and will continue to vote for representatives who will give it an ever-more comfortable tit to suck on?

The non-productive, bloodsucker sector, must be contained. That means disenfranchising them until they become productive.

Will someone please translate the gobbledegook that Dirty Euro posts to these pages.

I get a headache trying to interpret there meaning.
