Would Labour's economic plan please stand up.

George keeps telling me that there is a Long Term Economic Plan, can anyone actually tell me what it is? Their website doesn't give anything that even vaguely approximates to an economic plan yet alone a long term one.

I'm not convinced any of the parties have a coherent notion of where Britain should be in twenty or thirty years time yet alone how to get to there from here.

Pathetic, although having said that, i see no problem with the Monsters policy of Compulsory maths qualifications for Treasury ministers! Sounds a bit too sensible for them :D

Hardly pathetic or irrelevant...it's from last general elections manifesto, it's not like it's being pulled from the 1950's....

I suppose it's not like you would ever blame the current New Labour candidates now for things that were done in the Blair/Brown years is it....oh, wait....

A manifesto that doesn't exist anymore and was torn up at least 2 years ago if not longer. So it's entirely irrelevant and that link is disingenuous at best

Errr...lol.. entirely different as that's what happened when in power!! And two of the jokers that were responsible are leading the party!!

What difference does it matter that Blair/Brown were in power at the time, the current crop of Labour politicians have a new manifesto, the old one has been torn up and so is irrelevant...so you say

So it either shows where parties have come from to get perspective of their overall views or not, you can't have it both ways

But the manifesto now is just as bad if not worse than before! And from what they are saying now they seem just as irresponsible as the last time they were in power.

They both have new manifestos but UKIP has improved and refined where's the Labour party seem to be going backwards

The biggest joker responsible for the last UKIP manifesto was and still is the leader, not even just a previous lackey :p

Since that is just subjective opinion, that is easily called irrelevant to the discussion in hand

Goes to show just how uninformed you are. Nigel Farage didn't write the manifesto and didn't approve it, that's why it was junked.

It's entirely relevant when they have a real chance of being in charge of the economy, which from past experience they have shown to be unfit to run the UK. You can't have it both ways.

From the Daily Mail -
After forgetting the name of ‘Bill Somebody’ the Labour donor, and saying that paying window cleaners cash-in-hand is wrong, blundering Ed Balls walked – literally – into another ‘Balls-up’ in a Commons vote on banning smoking in cars in which children are passengers. Despite having supported the proposal, ex-smoker Balls voted against it – he claims he accidentally cast his ballot the wrong way. He should have asked his wife Yvette Cooper: she got it right and voted in favour.

How can anybody who makes such a basic error be in line for holding the countries cash.

Lol, the person who doesn't read past a soundbite is calling me uninformed :D

So you're saying Nigel had little to no input on the last manifesto? That he didn't approve of it, but still ran as the figure head putting it forward.....great leadership material we have there then!

No, I said your opinion of it being 'worse' etc etc is irrelevant, as that is just your subjective view.

But the whole point is their previous actions (and manifestos) can be used to see where they have come from and to judge how they will go forward, combined with information from their current policies.

Since UKIP haven't been (and thankfully won't be) in power, all we have is their previous policy announcements to judge where they have come from and current policies on how they want to go forward.

Especially as it is the same guy at the helm.

So you can hardly say one history is irrelevant to judge them currently while using the history of another to judge their current state of play.

Well, you can, but .......I'll let you fill in the blanks :p

Are you implying that main-steam party dogma 5 years ago has no relation to the party now?.

Please define exactly what Labour did wrong & the total economic impact of it (use statistics, real figures & third party data sources please).

Additionally please explain as to what each party would have done differently & what they would have been.

The UKIP manifesto is irrelevant anyway, they wont hold any notable power & nobody would be interesting in forming a coalition with them due to how hugely unpopular they are with more than half of the population.

Yes, it's best if we wait for the 2015 manifesto, isn't it? Both Greens and UKIP.

Remember Tunny.

Manifestos only matter if they are negative & linked to a party you don't agree with, otherwise you can pretend they don't exist.
