Why would a white person want to vote for Labour?

[flamingreen]

Totally ignoring what is currently practical or possible, I would like to see efforts toward:

• restricting the UK's association with the EU to trade only with limited add-ons but without labour laws
• applying to join NAFTA thereby giving a North Atlantic dimension to the current agreement
• strictly applying a point system to immigration and limiting it to people who will benefit the country
• having fixed-term work visas
• restricting student visas to approved establishments
• repatriating all over-stayers, illegals, and bogus spouses and family members
• reinstating the UK supreme court as the highest legal authority over the UK
• paying unemployment benefit at an hourly rate only after an agreed number of hours of civilian work and/or training.

Given that most people on here would support those measures, many wanting to go a bit further perhaps, I am surprised you are always arguing with people who share your view.

We should never join NAFTA which is just becoming the Continental American version of the EU.

Why would a white person want to vote for Labour? That is easy because the Tories are such a shower of ********

The Tories maybe a shower of ******** but they aren't as bad as Labour ever and deliberately bringing as many foreigners as possible to "rub our faces in diversity".

Actually, and I agree with you, they bring them in just for votes. Look up the Telegraphs constituency map of the UK, then look at England, then look at ethnic areas like Bradford, Bolton, Burnley, Birmingham and you'll see why immigrants are mouth watering to stupid foul Labour.

They would vote labour Because they are nonces just like the labour 25.

Why would anyone who prefers to take responsibility for their own well-being want to vote Labour? This is a party that endorses involuntary servitude as an ideology, and proposes to confiscate large amounts of our hard earned income and wealth to finance government programmes that have little proven value.

As far as I can tell, the only people who could rationally vote labour, white or otherwise, are those who depend for their own well-being on these programmes. That is, benefit recipients and public services employees.

Thats nonsense, there are plenty of *guilty* feeling people Christians and other hair shirter idealists, who believe that you can create a happy clappy loving sharing beautiful world by voting Labour - well something like that at least.

Why would a white person want to vote for Labour?

Erm...

Because most of them appear to have had an unsuccessful lobotomy?

Or are on benefits or are a single mother, or on disability or are a civil servant or are an Islamic, black or gay person or an assylum seeker or work for the BBC or are a common purpose cop, and that nicely sums all the dog poo in this once brilliant country of ours.

Couldn't possibly be a reaction to a labour market with increasing insecurity and instability, could it?
