Labour would TAX - NOT NEW LABOUR!

Telegraph: Reports that Labour under the new leadership of Ed Milliband would tax more and not cut spending to get the UK out of its economic black hole left by the last Labour Government. This is why Labour faces being out of power for a generation, former New Labour PM Tony Blair must be wondering why he bothered with Labour when they revert to type after losing an election. This will give the Coalition Government an open goal to attack Labour as reverting to its old Labour routes, what next will they want to get rid of Trident, its shows how much New Labour was a PR stunt, it didn’t change Labour at its core, Tony Blair was in a way lucky to be pushed out when he was in 2007.

55 House Democrats under threat - Mid Term Elections

Human Events: Reports that respected pollster Rasmussen predicts that the Republicans will take 55 seats in the House, thus giving them control of the House. This would give the Republicans a good majority to work with and also cause Obama White House a lot of problems as these new members would have been supported by the tea party movement. One of the first acts of the new Republican Congress would be to pass a Bill that would repeal ObamaCare and this would force President Obama to Veto the Bill. The Democrats in the House and Senate would be forced with a hard choice, will they support the Presidential Veto or will they overrule the veto as to keep their own seats safe. The latest Oval reporting is that Obama will try to move to the centre after the 2010 Mid Term Elections, this blog has it doubts that President Obama understands what the centre is, its to his centre right, is it a bridge the President is willing to walk, if the President really wants to move to the centre he would revise Health Care Reform, that is the test folks.

The Last Two Weeks of the Mid Terms

Gallup: Lets start off with the President Obama’s latest Gallup poll rating, the President is at 44% approval and 48% disapproval, not a good sign if you’re a Democrat running in a moderate or conservative State or House District. It will be interesting to see after the polls close on November 2nd, what the margin is between the Republicans and the Democrats and how this matches Obama’s poll ratings.
