[Margaret Pilkington]

The major concerns with electing a Labour government is that they can't be trusted to handle the economy in a responsible way.
They cannot see that you have to earn the money before you can spend it....you cannot have what can't be paid for......well you can(but at a huge cost in the future - didn't Labour get Private companies to build hospitals so that the said private companies could fleece the NHS.....you would think that would be a Tory strategy)....the PFI is evidence of that and the reason why many trusts are in financial difficulties right now.

Labour did not listen to the concerns of the grass roots.....but went ahead and allowed uncontrolled immigration.......this was to rub the rights nose in it......a cynical ploy to increase their voting base too.
Labour blames the financial crisis on the global economy, rather than seeing that it spent money that wasn't there to spend.
Gordon Brown knew about the banking situation and did absolutely nothing about it.

all these things have eroded the trust of the electorate....plus the fact that they refused to let the people have a say on the EU, when it was clear that the creeping insidious effects of their policies was damaging the fabric of the UK(mainly because we slavishly follow the rules to the letter whereas France and other countries pick and choose which laws they will abide by...and nothing happens to them).

I really don't think it matters who takes over the leadership of the Labour party......there isn't a strong leader to be found.
