LABOUR promised much but has delivered very little -- that is bad enough.

Iraq, and the terrible aftermath, where the principle reason for going to war was clearly lies, has made me lose all trust in Labour. We are dealing with politicians who are so naive, that they believed that we were at risk, when any sensible member of the British public could have told them we were not. Either way, their time is now up. Trouble is, where is a sensible alternative for the British people?

How can we trust a party that has so blatantly misled the country, not only on Iraq but also on taxation? Until they admit what they've done is wrong rather than their "so what are you going to do about it" attitude, then the public at large will continue to turn their back on them.

Too little too late I'm afraid. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and vote for them twice in the general elections.

However as a party they have proven to be incompetent and unwilling to listen to public opinion (suicide in a democracy) so I will be exercising my right as a voter to go and vote for a different party.
