Something like 53%, you can go fetch though...

 

 

 

Yes, the gold price is publicly available everywhere, but then again I'm into machine learning and always looking for interesting data sets.

 

It's 19%. It was never 53%

There's some interesting data for you :)

Miliband lost them the election.

 

And that is the basic truth. David Miliband's would have got much closer.

Brilliant, that's 3 years after Conservative took power and it also states that it was the lowest since records began. :rolleyes:

I might of even voted for David, but that's the Alternative Voting System for you.

 

David won round 1, round 2 and round 3

1 Failure to shake off the myth that we (ie Labour) were responsible for the financial crash and failure to build trust on the economy

 

2 Inability to deal with issues of "connection" in particular failure to communicate on benefits and immigration

 

3 Ed Miliband was judged not be as strong a leader as David Cameron

 

4 Fear of the SNP propping up a minority Labour government

 

 

 

This is the conclusion from Labour's own report why the party lost the election, gleaned from polling and doorstep conversations and leaked to the BBC today.

 

For a Tory, you seem obsessed with Labour and more than ever since Corbyn has become leader. What are you scared of?

53% though? When was that?

In 2013 there were 5.7 million people working in the public sector, which is the same as in 2002; not that much of a change from 2014/15, but there are still more cuts coming.

And public sector workers may have lost their jobs, but if the work still needs to be done, private sector took their jobs on lower pay, their pay may be topped up by tax credits.

Blair had resigned as leader of the Labour party 8 years prior to the last election, unless you're suggesting that they lost it because he wasn't leader.

Do people still vote Tory, because they remember how great they thought Thatcher was, probably ;)
