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!
