Labour on course for worst electoral results since 1918

With all the media focus now on the Liberal Democrats and whether Cameron can have a come-back that would give him a working majority in Parliament, it seems everyone has forgotten the fact that Labour are on course for an electoral catastrophe. According to the opinion polls Labour are on average at just 27% of the vote. This if repeated on May 6th will be worse than Labour's horrendous defeat in 1983 when Michael Foot was leader. Indeed the latest ICM poll to come out has Labour currently on 26%.

The reason this has not been talked about as much as it should is because Labour are hoping to cling on to power with the help of the Liberal Democrats and their holier-than-thou pure leader, Nick Clegg. As I've said in previous posts, due to the current electoral system even if Labour come third in the popular vote they could still have the most seats come May 7th. So, despite the fact on average some 73% of the electorate plan to vote against Labour they may still be in power for another four or five years. God help us all.

Personally I plan to vote for neither of the three old parties. I am putting my faith in the UK Independence Party because I support their 31% flat tax and especially as a younger person support their no tax on the minimum wage and their plans to abolish tuition fees.

One word of advice to the Tories though, maybe if you highlighted the fact the Labour government are on course for a major haemorraging of electoral support that has not been witnessed for decades, you might just turn the tide. The scrutiny that should have been given to the Liberal Democrats also has not succeeded because Cameron didn't go straight for the jugular.

Anyway enough of that, vote UKIP!

Voting Labour has led to the danger of a BNP MP.

Rob Flello, the MP for Stoke-on-Trent South, has warned voters that there is a danger of the BNP winning in his constituency. He naturally, as a Labour MP, insists that the only way to beat the BNP is to vote Labour.

Sadly the rise of the BNP has come under a Labour government. It is Mr. Flello's colleagues in the Labour Party who have ignored working class concern on immigration and social breakdown and now unfortunately the BNP are preying on people's concerns and posing a real threat in Labour heartlands at this General Election. I myself will be down in Barking to help UKIP candidate Frank Maloney soon, where the BNP have been making a song and a dance about Nick Griffin standing.

I personally don't think that the BNP will elect a Member of Parliament on May 6th, but not because Labour have done anything to effectively the counter the threat. I believe simply that while some may get so wound up with things that they vote BNP, there are enough people who realise what they are all about to not vote for them.  No matter how disgusted most British people get, they would much rather sit at home than vote for a racist candidate.

For those who believe in tough but fair immigration controls but are not motivated by racism, as is the case with most decent British people, UKIP are there. Which begs the question, why would someone become a member of the BNP if it wasn't because they are racist?
