Rebuilding prosperity – supporting new industries, training opportunities and taking on the Coalition’s cuts and unfairness.
The climate has cooled over the last 10 years, in other words; he wants a non-problem at the centre of everything we do. By economic future, there will be no economic future left is we continue spending billions on subsidising wind turbines.Quote:
Building a sustainable future – putting climate change at the centre of everything we do, including our economic future.
So i'm guessing he's going to stop trading with China, stop giving aid to Zimbabwe and so on? also, was it not his government which released a terrorist to a dictatorship country (Libya) to help sign oil contracts? is that what he means when he talks about a foreign policy based on values?Quote:
Foreign policy based on values – not simply our alliances, learning lessons from the mistakes of Iraq.
Yes, and I can promise you a utopia right now - doesn't mean it'll happen.Quote:
Fairness in education – excellent schools in every community and fairer funding in higher education.
Ahh so does that mean a yes to more government databases/ID cards? what about the European Arrest Warrant which breaks the ancient habeus corpus? what about detention without trial (our country can now hold suspects longer than they do in Zimbabwe would you believe!)Quote:
Protecting individual liberty – support for measures like CCTV but opposition to unnecessary state intervention in people’s lives, like excessive use of stop and search powers.
No proportional representation then, thought not. As for the rest not that it matters anyway because parliament barely sits - it doesn't need to anymore, most of our laws are made on the other side of the English Channel.Quote:
A 21st century democracy – support for the Alternative Vote, reform of the House of Lords, votes at 16 and more power for local government.
Putting peoples gender before ability? isn't that sexism?Quote:
Building a movement – more voice for party members and a culture change in the way we do business, with women comprising 50% of the Shadow Cabinet.
Mmm.Quote:
what a great guy
You aren't a politician though are you now, I can't believe you are arguing over what I call the former PM.Quote:

If you want a federal Europe then thats your opinion yes, but its high time everybody in this country got to express an opinion on this matter rather than being told we are going to be allowed to express an opinion, then being lied to as Labour did in their 2005 manifesto. So again my point stands, why would you support a proven liar?
This is about the Labour leadership yeah, and i'm discussing it at length which you don't seem to like which suggests to me you don't really have a real response, you are taken aback somewhat - hence why you are telling me not to post in this thread.
As for UKIP, you brought it up first in this thread - I didn't mention them once until you did, the only mention of UKIP was the video name and I cannot change the name of the video I posted now, can I?
Here is the first point at which UKIP was mentioned in this thread;
"no. therefor i do not vote UKIP" - and who posted that? you did.
I have said my bit now anyway on the Milibands.
