The hypocrisy of Labour

I fully expect to receive a backlash for my first post. Especially so as I mention in the section about me that I am a member of the conservative party.

How can I not write this though?

The labour party pretends to work and implement laws and policies targeted at the worse off in society, by vilifying the rich. What they fail outrageously to mention though is that quite a few within the labour party are rich themselves. The likes of Ed Miliband and Ed balls are both millionaires for example, and it truly doesn’t matter if it is liquid wealth (cash) or tied up in assets (house). The only difference between labour and conservatives is that labour hides the truth, while conservatives are not hiding the fact some of them are rich which rightfully comes across as arrogant. So, which do you prefer? The lying or the arrogant?

When Ed Balls mentions that conservatives have a secret plan to cut taxes for millionaires, what he is in effect saying is that he, himself will be better off if conservatives come to power.

What really gets me is how a politician can get rich. Ed Miliband for example earns £140,000.00 a year, his wife earns £200,000.00. That is a massive combined income.

See this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2213675/Ed-Miliband-A-2-3m-house-400-000-mortgage–Labour-leader-Ed-Millionaire.html

Can you truly tell me that he understands how a person on the minimum wage feels? He most certainly never was on the breadline having to work shifts or two jobs to make ends meet. Yet these are the people he wants to vote for him.

After the 2009 expenses scandal, we thought the gravy train has gone, but think again. It was reported recently that a politician bought a house in London as a second home so he could carry out his MP duties. What he really does is that he rents that house out for more than his mortgage is worth (making money on that) and claiming hotel nights for when he is in parliament. So in effect he gets rich by being subsidised by the taxpayer. This Ladies and Gentlemen is widely accepted in the House of Commons practice code. Can you believe it? I hasten to add that I am sure MPs of all parties do that.
