Will Labour fight back?

Tuesday 29th September 2009, 5:54AM BST.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown holds a Q & A session with new Labour candidates on the first day of the Labour Party conference in Brighton.The Labour party is hoping to come back from the dead but can Gordon Brown turn things around?

Labour is in “the fight of our lives” but the party can win the next election, Lord Mandelson has said.

The Prime Minister will be hoping that the party conference will mark the beginning of a dramatic turnaround in fortunes following dire opinion poll ratings.

But do you think next year’s General Election will see an amazing comeback, just as John Major and the Conservatives defied expectations by retaining power in 1992?

Or will David Cameron and his party sweep to victory on polling day?

    No, there is no coming back for Labour thankfully. Cameron has abandoned conservative principles and reminds me of Blair. It is like the change Obama promised after Bush in the USA. The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same springs to mind. Will Cameron take on the banks in the interests of the British public? Of course he won’t. Will he get us out of Afghanistan? No chance. Will he get us out of the EU? Heavens no. The political parties are there to represent the interests of the bankers, powerful corporations, particular lobby groups and certainly not the British public. We will all end up paying for it and then voting for it, a whine here, a moan there. It is like turkeys voting for Christmas. When the next crash happens, which it will, much sooner than we all think, it will be game over. The end of the pound, unemployment which will skyrocket and living standards declining alarmingly. Never fear, after Labour is defeated and the Conservatives take office, Lord Mandelson shortly after joining the Tories, will tell us all is good. “Who do you believe, us or your lying eyes?” The Tories will welcome him with open arms and the significant money and power that is behind Mandelson (Billionaires, Rothschild bankers etc). It might be our last chance to vote for people who put our interests first, second and third, which does not include political parties. Just remember that what appears to be the lesser of two evils is still evil and as before, we will get the Government we deserve.

    Once Labour has sorted themselves out after the Tories’ election victory, they will come back stronger than ever, because by then we will have had enough of the ever-angry David Cameron. The Labour Party have lost their way, but its fundamental principle will always be the same – for the working people.
