Old labour wasnt centre left.... it was maybe centre left left.. if you get my meaning. It was also very very interventionist and authoritarian. New labour has many of the same ideas.... they are just hidden, its a sham. This Labour governement has taxed the average man more than any governement ever.... and wasted the lot. |
from what ive read about old Labour, they were alot beter than New Labour, im not an expert on them though, i wasnt born till 1988, lol, they were gone by the time i followed politics.
not all taxes are bad, im an advocate of Progressive taxation personally, which generally is good for the average man or woman (average income is 22k or so, if i remember correctly) New Labour i agree have been bad on that, theyve been using reggressive taxation, that said, the Conservatives taxation policys are even more regressive from what i know of them, so take what you can get, i doubt someone on 22k a year would be better off under Cameron, 220k a year, now thats a different story, imo youre luck if you earn that though, its 10x the average wage.
