Gordon wants to be reelected
Posted by michael on November 8, 2009
I do wonder how Gordon Brown works out what policies he wants to introduce!
Just recently he has introduced a purge on getting people off benefits and onto jobseekers allowance. Of course there are no jobs but it does cut down on benefits paid out.
But did he investigate the effects of this policy? Or was he just after headlines?
A table of which constituencies use the most benefits shows that the first 200 constituencies in the list (the higher the position the more benefits are paid), 189 constituencies are represented by Labour MPs!
The first Conservative in the list is in position 210.
So lets get that right. Brown introduces a policy to make him more electable and punishes the most the very people he wants to get votes from!
Good thinking. Keep up the good work Gordon!

Hi
I am not an MP. I hold no political office. I hold no job involved in politics. I am not even a member of any political party.
Sorry if you think people have to be in politics to object to the lousy government we have had over the last 13 years! I simply hate what Blair, Brown and New Labour have done to my country whilst in power.
Even positive things like improved schools, new hospitals etc. have been completely overshadowed by the financial failures which mean that we have had to go into debt to pay for them!
I am not the only one who thinks like this. Just wait until people start suffering financially from increased taxes, increased bills etc. Then New Labour will really become a scapegoat!
