I ask again. Do you think Labour are anti austerity?

Furthermore, answer the original question. Why have the left failed int his election?

Labour are not anti austerity.
I might answer the second question after the election.
As far as I'm concerned, Labour (lesser of the 2 main party evils) with a left leaning SNP coalition is probably my most favoured of the likely outcomes.

UKIP lost their deposits in their first GE.
If you had the intellectual capacity to digest what I wrote, you would have seen that I said labour are the lesser of 2 evils.
If a left wing SNP form part of a UK government, how would the left have lost?

Logically, they would have to blame UKIP, as in several marginal seats they will have split the Tory vote. Cameron said they only need to win 23 seats, well that ain't gonna happen. UkIp deliver no 10 to Millit***? How ironic!

I used to be immortal

Hypocrite.

You have said previously that Labour betray socialist ideals, yet here you are lauding them as the least worse option.

I therefore ask again, why has the 'anti austerity' movement achieved nothing in this election?

The Greens, Respect and 'credible' TUSC will be nowhere. Why?

Because they won't get as many votes as the other parties. It's not that difficult to comprehend is it?
Why were ukip nowhere in their first election? My word Matthew the old grey matter isn't working for you tonight is it?

I can only summise that's it's because people have not yet realised that whichever bunch of two faced lying scumbags occupy parliament nothing much will change and, for some reason, lots of people hold bizarre loyalty towards one bunch of tossers or the other. I reckon for some that it's a bit like your football team. No matter how much they charge you, shaft you, fail to deliver etc nor how much the others do for you, you support the fools you do simply because your dad did!

Hmm, let me think. Lack of media coverage, right wing media barons with fingers in the pies being pro austerity, despite its massive failure, fledgling grass roots party.
Still, getting enough candidates to be eligible for a PEB isn't bad in a first election.

Now answer my question Why didn't UKIP do very well in their first GE? (and why won't they do well in this one?)

1. I don't think the anti austerity thing is crap. I believe it has been used as an ideological weapon to slash public services and serves a few at a cost to the many.
2. You haven't answered my question.
3. 'I'm voting Tory to piss off...' someone on a message board. Sums you up.

Clutching at straws Gusset.

1. It is crap. If it weren't people would support it;
2. It's a s*** question. answer it yourself as it's loaded and you obviously know the answer and want to catch me out;
3. Re read. I said thinks of and people like you and Crystal Balls. There are people like you and him that are pious and honk we should all vote left BECAUSE! Is makes me want mor wot to f*** this lot off by vote Tory. Doesn't mean I will do it. Just makes me think it would be a smack in the face for them.
