Wake up to Labour lies

ONE of the main problems impacting modern day politics is a partial disconnect and lack of belief shown in political parties by the electorate.

People feel lied to and manipulated by politicians who have made promises on many policies and broken them.

This is bad enough. To have representatives of a mainstream political party lying about the policies of other parties is disgraceful.

None more so have done this than the Labour Party, in my opinion.

Over the last nine months they have been lying consistently about UKIP policies with regards to the NHS and other matters. Telling people that UKIP want to privatise the NHS and charge patients for health-care, on many occasions vaguely referring to an article written by a representative of the party who meant his comments as ideas, not policies.

It is obvious for anyone that ideas given by representatives aren’t policies until they are written down in black in white as policies in a party manifesto.

Why then do UKIP get judged for ideas, when other political parties do not get judged in the same manner or even in some cases for their policies?

Maybe the reason is because UKIP members and supporters do not use these statements in terms of political sabotage in the same way the Labour Party do to UKIP in mainstream canvassing and articles.

Let’s remember at a time when members of the electorate are perceived as having trouble trusting politicians and political parties. The Labour Party are encouraging people to lie about other parties policies to come out ahead in elections. This is also the case here in Rotherham.

Only last May some Labour candidates had on their leaflets the NHS UKIP lies.

As a UKIP Supporter I spend a lot of my free time correcting people on the misunderstandings and misinformation that has been published by the Labour Party, explaining the current UKIP party policies and intentions as clearly as I can.

Surely this is giving out false information to the electorate.

Is this now all that Labour has to offer? Rotherham folk have had enough of the lies, cover-ups and corruption. All I can say is that people have now woken up to these lies and this will be seen in the 2015 general elections.
