Polls are open tomorrow from 7am until 10pm. Here are just 15 reasons why you should take time out to vote Labour;
- Labour introduced a national minimum wage that has risen to £5.52
- Over 14 000 more police officers in England and Wales – crime down by 32%
- Employment has never been higher
- Free entry to museums everywhere
- Winter fuel allowance to ease the financial burden on the older generation
- NHS Direct offers easy to use advice both online and via telephone.
- A million pensioners lifted out of poverty
- 600 000 children lifted out of poverty.
- Inpatient waiting lists down by over 50%
- cut long term youth-unemployment by 75%
- doubled the foreign aid budget since 1997
- free off-peak bus travel for over 60s
- 3 million child trust funds created
- Cleanest rivers, beaches and air since before the industrial revolution
- Increased the right to paid-holiday for all full-time workers, now 24 days
So go out and vote Labour and make sure we continue to deliver on that record of success.
A lot of national campaigning for both parties is based on negativity (this includes ‘Tory bashing’) and what each party has done in the past. These parties in many people’s eyes no longer exist and to be honest I find it pretty childish.
I believe voters are looking at the here and now.
I for one am fed up with MP’s who answer every question with what Labour has achieved since 97, it frustrates me as I know how many people it puts off politics.
People shouldn’t vote Labour locally for the history of the national party, they should vote labour for the candidate that will make a positive difference in the local area.
And one reason why you should not vote Labour:
1. Iraq
Funny you chose not to mention that, but of course you’re right. Free bus travel is far more important
