why do labour keep saying more people voted for lab/lib

in 1997/2005 didn't more people vote for con/lib i wonder if they did

if so,it didn't seem to bother them then

You have to understand that New labour is the first government to be in power where it has a government FULL of career politicians.

Their career is politics, they will dance to whatever tune they have to to keep their jobs...  after all.. what else can they do?

one way you can start to tackle that would be fixed terms for MP's and PM's

so, they couldnt stand for more than say 3 elections. (as an example suggestion)

im not sure how you stop people from going through their career only in politics, but i am willing to listen to your ideas on the subject?

I'm not sure you can.... but I am highly suspicious of someone who WANTS to go straight to politics from studying.   

 

its what they are interested in and want to do?

I mean, just for the sake of argument (I dont particularly have strong feelings on this issue), why shouldnt they? and what makes it suspicous?
