How do you think Labour will do in the local elections considering the few bad days they have had?

they'll probably win but then again they might not. i'd like to see the end of tony blair.

I think they will not gain at all.  I think that they may trade a few seats here and there.  I believe that the party has no message or plan to "fix" all the things they complain about.  If they bring their "A" game they could win big, but not until they replace Howard Dean.

LOL!  Britian must be nice.  A Conservative/Liberal coalition would NEVER happen here in the U.S.\n\nIt doesn't sound like the Labour Party is going to be successful, whenever your next election takes place.

Strike in every branch of the country. It will affect in few days so, that the capitalist investors start to evaluate the loss of it versus benefit of keeping the puppets in the goverment. People would have to be ready to do it again soon, because the out-cicked elite-puppets sure would try to return there again.\n\nfor example, Here in finland we have had pure economical criminals at important ministry level, and when they have had to step out of the job, they usually have come back at the next election season.  We  have a variety of ex-economical criminals doing politics as usual even as we speak.

I'd check out their voting record, since SOME incumbents are doing the right thing.  If we only keep them, they'll be senior and have more power, too.

As a fellow Australian who do you mean by 'them'? Are we talking Labour/ Liberal? or something more extreme? because there is not a great deal of difference between our two biggest parties, and even when you vote for someone else 'preferences' help one of the two get in anyway.

This election in tamil nadu could b a very close one and i predict tamil nadu may get a hung assembly after a long time, ie after the first elections way back in 1952. There is no political wave today in tamil nadu which is usually present( 1991- Rajiv Gandhi sympathy wave, 1996- anti incumbency wave against Jayalalitha). \n  \n    Moreover the anti incumbency wave which was present against jayalalitha during lok shaba elections that saw her party lose all seats, is not such a big factor today. The reasons for that being her recall of all the controversial laws like anti conversion bill, etc. Her actions like free cycle for school students, Good relief for Tsunami and flood, Absence of Rowdisim and caste conflicts in Tamil Nadu has strengthened her case. She has also been strengthened by the alliance with MDMK of Vaiko.\n\n   Meanwhile the strong alliance, the angry of goverenment workers and muslims over ADMK, is what tilts the balance in favour of Karunathi led DMK. The arrival of actor turned politician Vijaykanth into the political arena has also caused few upsets in poll calculations. Though his party may not win too much seats he could end up making a dent in the vote share of both the dravidian parties. The fact that BJP is standing alone could crearte sort of worry for ADMK over its traditional Upper caste Votes.\n\nSince the election is so close, both the parties has started Announcing lot of promises like free colout tv, Free rice, etc. Vaiko's constant attack on Sun TV network run by brother of Union Broad casting minister Dayanithi Maran and his replies to it has also made the poll intresting. Comedy scenes of the poll are being provided by another actor turned politician Kartik, who has assumed office as state president of Forward Bloc.\n\nthis is how people are going to vote in elections\n\nVery rich/ upper middle class/ poor = AIADMK alliance\nMiddle class/ Workers/Goverenment staff= DMK alliance\n\nMY prediction\n\nAIADMK ALLIANCE = 130\nDMK ALLIANCE   = 103\nVIJAYKANTH PARTY= 01 or 02.

There will be a leadership contest.  It's silly to believe that Gordon will be voted in to be the next leader of the Labour Party.  When Tony announces the end of his term you'll see other Labour supporters come out of the woodwork to contest against Gordon.\n\nConsider the Major wasn't Thatcher's choice...

What makes you think this? What is the evidence of his being poor at organisation? Why would you you want him to run a piss up in a country? It might be entertaining for a while, but it wouldn't sustain the business of State. \n\nIf you ask considered questions you'll get considered responses. For some sort of answer to your present question try this:\n\nIs the country worse off than it was in 1997? If so how? \n\nIs Blair an improvement on John Major? If not, why not?\n\nHow is the economy doing under Labour relative to a similar number of years of economic management under the Tories? Better or worse? I think you already know the answer.\n\nIs employment up or down since the last Tory Government? \n\nIs crime up or down since the last Tory Government?\n\nAre NHS waiting lists longer under Labour's management?\n\nBlair is slippery and slick. He's a survivor and the consummate politician. But underneath all that there is a genuine conviction politician, concerned about the welfare and wellbeing of the people of UK and around the World. \n\nBlair got it seriously wrong over Iraq and this sadly will be his legacy. The good stuff will be forgotten under the mess of the unjust and improper British invasion of a sovereighn country on the most dubious of grounds. That is the issue about Blair.

Blair is still in power and his party is still a stooge to bush govt. so the chances are bleak.it will happen only when the british elect leftist government.

Let's be honest in the group they are in no one scored a goal except for one player and that was in the wrong net, however UK came out shining as per usual, based on that kind of luck maybe they will make it to the next round, but on what we have seen so far in the skills department I don't think they will survive long.\nTo be fair to them with all the injuries they are not able to represent themselves to their full capabilities whether that would have been good enough or not I am not sure, I wouldn't feel too confident on what I have seen so far, and at this stage I would need a lot more convincing before I put a wager on them.\nIn any case they are there and still in it, and they are one of 32 teams who are providing a lot of entertainment for us all, while the politicians sneak through a few white papers while our attention is on the cup.\nWhat a pity the world is so sneaky.

I voted to spite Blair but Livingstone turned out to be his plant.\nHoodwinked again.\nLondon is still run by others and we are paying more and more.\nHis control over transport is nil except for collecting money.\nHis tram systems are developer's dreams come true.\nScroungers, con artists and liars, and they all hold office.\nI've given up on this country.

Texas will be fine, just like we were last year.  LA on the other hand...\n\nNo hope.  Those silly fools just re-elected the same guy who screwed them last year.
