I don’t find it at all difficult deciding who to vote for. I merely ask a number of questions to myself and answer them.
- Which party would support public services? Who would properly fund our schools, hospitals, police, armed forces and councils?
- Which party would address the gross inequality? Who would plug the tax loopholes, curb excessive pay and bonuses and look after the poorer members of society?
- Which party would look after the environment? Who would put money into sustainable energy, conservation and help nature?
- Which party would create a fairer society? Who would change the ethos away from greed and exploitation and towards a more caring society?
- Which party would produce a Brexit that worked for ordinary people? Who would bring in a type of Brexit that did not result in massive job losses and damage to the economy which would impact on poor people?
- Which party would produce a dynamic outward looking economy? Who would introduce investment for infrastructure that would create jobs and make us more efficient?
The answer to all my questions is LABOUR.
We have already seen that ten years of Tory rule has resulted in massive cuts to public services, a decade of bitter austerity for the poor, big increases in the wealth at the top creating massive inequality, an increase in greed, exploitation and a lowering of environmental and workers standards.
The Tories, via Tory media, use scare stories and lies to misrepresent what Labour would do. They cover up the huge amount of damage they have done to the structure of this country and they are planning a hard Brexit that will favour the wealthy and do great damage to jobs and our economy.
