Marketer & Politics, Economy and Immigration

Voters across the country seem to be furious about MPs conducts. Some commentators said that the Labour is taking the biggest hit. But for the following reasons, I believe that the Labour could benefit from the crisis:

1. Voters are now reluctant to vote now because of lack of confidence in politicians of all parties. In other words, the number of people supporting opposition parties has fallen too, a lot. Considering current Labour’s approval ratings, Tories have probably suffered even more.

2. If my impression is correct, election turnout rates tend to be high when voters are not happy with Government, which also means government could  benefit from a low turnout election.

3. Gordon Brown’s personal ratings went up during crises in the past: foot and mouth virus scare in 2007, the credit crunch, G20 summit this year. He wouldn’t let go an opportunity like this when all parties in the Parliament are in trouble. I predict that he will do something radical to make himself look good, as he always does.

4. No matter what, Gordon Brown still has time - nearly one year - before the next general election and he can call one when he’s ready - timing will play a more important role this time.

5. The government may have an advantage that other parties don’t have, the support of benefit claimants. Because of the benefit culture in Britain the Labour party have nurtured for a decade, I imagine many claimants would still vote for Labour in order to keep their benefits.

1. They have the same enemy: the Republicans or conservative Americans who are against Kyoto agreement or withdrawal of troops from Iraq

2. They have the same friends: the Democrats who support “Inconvenient truth” and urge to pull troops out of Middle East no matter what

3. They both hate the Western lifestyle. GWs force us to give up or cut back on essentials in life, long haul family vacation, cars we like etc. Ultimately terrorists will stop attacking only when the West embrace Sharia

4. Their leaders do not lead by example. Being the most well-known GW does not mean that Al Gore can not be an energy hog. Of course he has ‘off-set’ his own carbon footprint. Wait a minute, he owns and chairs an ‘offset’ solution company.
Do you know any prominent terrorist leader that has become a suicide bomber?

5. They believe they are the heroes, either saving the world or waging a ‘holy war’

6. They brainwash people. Because of media, it seems that global warming is a scientific fact agreed by most scientists, but it is not. Can GWs explain to me why other planets in the Solar system have experienced global warming too? In Britain, terrorists brainwash their children with DVDs glorifying suicide bombings.

7. They hate innocent people. A simple logic for them: the less people in the West, the better. I wonder if suicide bombing is a big deal for GWs, fundamentally the terrorists are helping reduce carbon emission by killing people

8. They have forced us to spend unnecessarily. Can anybody let me know how much we have spent on public transportation security? And green taxes already imposed on British people?

9. Their version of ideal world is quite similar to each other: people live like low-life: limited use of cars, airplanes, and worry about their carbon footprint and adopt a lifestyle that is designed for slaves. I wonder if global warming would happen when the modern world had been dominated by the extremists or their religion. In that case, at least there would be no industrial revolution or great inventions like computer or plane (which are also a source of carbon emission, according to GWs) in the first place

10. They are ignorant. Seriously.

Leave your thoughts here please - I’d love to know them.
