Time for voters to be heard

Thousands of Labour supporters today are disappointed.

In 1997, Labour had no choice but to lean to the right in order to get itself elected.

History provides the answer. Two influential public figures come to mind: Mr Arthur Scargill and Mrs (as she was then) Thatcher. Both had their supporters and had valid points to raise.

Between them, one believes, they paved the way for Labour's 1997 landslide victory, but one knows they won't help Labour next time around. Free enterprise and compassion may help Mr Gordon Brown to stay in 10 Downing Street, but listen to Joe Public.

First thing - a referendum over Europe, put the indigenous people of Great Britain before foreign nationals, control immigration and tackle the pensions problem. Law and order is crucial.

Tackle benefit fraud, compel foreign nationals and the long-term unemployed to undertake a few hours work, at least five days (any five days) a week - the taxpayers demand it!

Gordon, you could walk into Downing Street, but listen to your supporters.
