It is predicted that Labour will win the Glasgow East bye-election.
No wonder since this constituency has the largest number of persons living on 'welfare' benefits at the taxpayers' expense in the UK.
A client voting population created by Labour politicians to maintain themselves in Office.

not surprised either considering that your ongoing invective is neither humble nor your own, but simply a regurgitation of typical tabloid cant. thats imoho.

Originally posted by mohoIf it is no better or worse now than when Labour came to power, it is hardly a client electorate which labour created, is it?

Originally posted by mohoWell, to start with, an SSP government wouldn't necessarily be godless, and would probably contain people who weren't communists.

But the basic problem in places like Glasgow East is lack of resources. While you say that the Labour government (or the SNP one we have now) have thrown taxpayers money at these kind of areas, this is simply not the case.
There are so many problems to deal with - health, education, literacy, housing,transport, drugs - that there isn't an overnight fix.
But, in a nutshell, an SSP government would have much more resources to spend in these kind of places, because we'd have changed the tax regime, healthcare would be properly funded, as would education.
It would also be much more beneficial to work rather than stay on benefits - we'd have a minimum wage of at least £8, for everyone.
Also, public transport would be free, which breaks down the isolation of these peripheral estates.
No simple solution - just radical, redistributive policies.
