I’m really happy I voted Labour! I trust Labour with our public services, which matters to me. No worries about our country under a Labour government from mesmile

Expecting other people to clothe you, accepting free hospitality at sporting events etc can definitely be fixed at the snap of a finger. In fact, had they have acted honourably they would have an awful lot of credibility right now.

I certainly haven't forgotten the terrible things the Conservatives did, but I don't expect any governing party to do terrible things. One doesn't cancel out the other.

Well it’s hardly been a good start has it? Doesn’t bode well for the future.

Well so far I’m going to take a wait and see approach, surely people didn’t expect it to be sweetness and light after the terrible state the country is in and can’t expect it to be fixed with a few finger snaps. People quickly forget all the terrible things that the Conservatives were caught doing while in power.

I do wonder, after the releasing of prisoners without any thought of rehabilitation, accommodation or tracing them, the winter fuel allowance, the acceptance of gifts more appropriate to a celebrity that a millionaire PM, whether labour voters feel this is what they voted for a couple of months ago.
People needed a change and they could see Conservatives were losing support.
This however, it's a doom laden approach, they act first, question later.
