Tories causing voter doubt and confusion

THE opinion polls have the Tories well ahead, but it is their role to cause doubt and confusion among the voters.

These polls have been proven wrong on many occasions, and, in a lot of cases, are pure fiction.

When you examine the reality of huge anger in large sections of working and middle class people who have suffered years of austerity, you get a better idea of how people intend to vote.

The junior doctors’ bitter dispute over contracts and the teachers’ proposed action over education cuts is a far more accurate barometer than the polls.

The mass influx of people – about 400,000 – particularly the young – into the Labour party who want an end to austerity elected Corbyn with massive majorities on two occasions, making Labour the biggest party in Europe.

This is also a better indi- cator of what people want. Corbyn has promised a break with austerity, which is gaining mass support.

The media are fulminating at the prospect of a Corbyn-led Labour Government coming to power committed to introducing a minimum wage of £10 an hour, the scrapping of zerohour contracts, a mass council house building programme, scrapping tuition fees and providing a decent living grant for our young students and an end to welfare cuts for the disabled and the poorest in our society.

The only people to fear a Corbyn victory are those who have gained so much from the Tories – and that’s the rich 1% who have gained by the tax cuts.

The rest of us have had nothing but cuts and more cuts to our services, pay and conditions.

It’s time we had a Government for the millions, not the millionaires.
