Floaters. People who've weighed up the Cameron schtick against the Brown schtick, and found Davey-boy wanting.
Urban 75 posters, Go'd'n Brown sent out a request.
Now you have a stab as to who they were ? Who'd you think were the most likely to support him ?
Sorry violentpanda, didn't mean generally who voted, but specifically, who posting on here would support the 'new labour party'.
[Name them and shame them !!!]
I think you have a point, but in the past tense to me, previous elections, there is a good chance that this election will 'break the mould', just my opinion.
In general terms -
With the polls at this stage there will be 'floaters', all results will be considered by the main parties, even 'unemployed conferences' will be studied and analysed, which is why people call/organise them, it's another form of poll covering a specific sector.
What can upset polls, is people 'deliberately' filling them in wrongly, with false opinions, we may get some of that as the election comes closer.

Brown became prime minister without an election, through a deal with Blair, they both denied such a deal, but now Brown has admitted it did exist, many in the electorate will be happy to see him lose.
Because of the destruction of the old labour party; all those who stayed and became founders of the 'new party', were responsible for the ending of the old party, revenge can be sweet.
There are lots of old party members, all ex, try to find any that will support the 'new party', they almost don't exist.
Voting for any of the 'three', will be much the same for most workers, the coporate companies will decide which of them will be in their interests the most, that more than anything will be a decider.
Internationally the 'new labour party' is losing out, it's argument that its a direct continuation of the old party, is now completely feeble, not just workers here that are waking up, imperialism is hard to hide.
My hope is that workers will not 'work for them', even at the 'national wage rate' anyone working for them ''freely'' in elections will be contributing money to their coffers, any money donations will help them keep going, so hopefully people will stop contribution whichever way.
Let their millionaire friends pay.
It will be nice to see them lose, with extremely large debts, it should drop them in a hole they can't get out of.
If they lose it will be followed by desertions, not just in Parliment, but directly from the branches in many wards.
