Labour leadership candidates like 'family members taking jewellery off a corpse'
"..... Lord Mandelson, the former business secretary, suggested on Sunday that some members of Labour's shadow cabinet should have been more vocal in raising their concerns during Labour's campaign.
After one of the leadership contenders made the disparaging "jewellery off a corpse" comment John Woodcock, a Labour MP and strong ally of Miss Kendall, described it as a "disgusting slur." ............
[snip of other highlighted quotes]......
LORD PRESCOTT, former deputy prime minister
“What a bloody disastrous night for Labour. We fought a presidential-type election based on computers, charts, focus groups and even the American language. Hell yes? Hell no! We lost this election five years ago when we failed to defend our past economic record. And it makes me damn mad.”
Tricking pollsters is always fun, and can only make conservatives work harder. But England has gone Orwell. It really could be dangerous to your job or expose you to prosecution to say the wrong thing to some pollster. Also remember that this is the UK, and the pollster could be a moslem.
The wrong truthful answer on the most crucial topics in the election could quite literally get you murdered.
Goofing on pollsters is fun. I’m usually a black, union man with a hispanic surname and a HS degree.
Yep, my arm gets a lot of exercise, picking up the phone, and slamming it back down.
We are not too far from this here in US.
What, not transgendered, too ?
The Vote means NOTHING in America.
In Nov. the GOP took the House and Senate
and the micturated on their voters,
by moving the IRS against them,
by supporting ObamaCARE after they blatantly LIED,
and by supporting every Treason they could.
Trust lost by backstabbing voters will NEVER be forgotten.
Liberals will make it a crime to lie to media pollsters.
You’ll have to ignore themm until staying silent is made a crime.
Ditto.
But I have a friend who likes to ramble on about having seen Elvis at a mall in Youngstown Ohio. He says the pollster usually hangs up pretty quickly.
I was a female Latina with 5 kids on social programs with no degree choosing a conservative.
Gosh, people being polled are lying to the pollsters? How is this so unexplained given the overt biases of the Mainstream Media? By giving the polling company bad data, you really make their polls look bad after the votes are counted and they start blubbering “why didn’t we see this and how did it happen”?
It’s why people didn’t vote for Romney, to some degree, and why even more will not vote for jeb or any other romneyesque boehmite- like or McCain substitute
".........Energy policies were not seen as a priority during recent election, but the British public knew there was a clear policy choice between the Conservatives’ support for a fracking boom in the Midlands and Labour’s determination to prevent it.
American Conservatives should take a lesson for the British election. The way to run the tables in national elections is to have the guts to risk asking the voters to choose between promises of a “New Regime” led by “Civil Society Logic” and “Government Logic,” supporting the “Market Logic” the offers prosperity and personal freedom."
It’s funny how the conservatives are labeled by the media as being out of step with the majority. Yet most of the time it turns out that the conservatives are a majority...and it is liberalism that is out of step with society.
Someone needs to get this across to the Republican leadership in the U.S. Senate.
This guy is the master at handling telemarketing calls. I stand in awe of his talent and his technique.
Why was the exit poll more accurate (gave the Tories 316 seats, they got 330), they weren’t shy then?
I don’t buy that many people are lying to pollsters. I’m glad to know, though, that the polls are often wrong because usually I find the numbers depressing.
