AberdeenBud Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Im a little curious why Labour is going to ban Zero hours but the SNP will have a "consultation" on it."Caring for the poor" would surely make that an easy decision.Rupert had a word maybe ?? Labour aren't going to ban them. Just the "exploitative zero hours contracts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyAffro Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 At the 2010 election the Lib Dems had c.6,8m votes and were invited to join a coalition government. If the polls are reliable, this time around we're looking at c.3m UKIP votes and c.1m SNP votes yet UKIP will possibly only get get 1 seat and SNP upwards of 50. Both have an agenda whatever they portray otherwise but 1 seat will not get a voice and 50 seats will likely hold the balance of power. We all know it's turkeys voting for Christmas for the government who gets in to introduce a "fairer" electoral system so whilst we're stuck with what we have I do NOT want a party with only 4% of the popular vote in the UK and governmental powers of their own at home to form any government that will affect the whole of the UK when their primary interest is putting Scots first. Yeah, we don't care what you want champ. And we will hold the balance of power in about six hours time. Deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the Labour party says no deal vote our Queens speech through or pull us down you are going to do what exactly ?? Try to think of the rabid new converts before you answer.

speckled tangerine Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Im a little curious why Labour is going to ban Zero hours but the SNP will have a "consultation" on it."Caring for the poor" would surely make that an easy decision.Rupert had a word maybe ?? Labour will ban "exploitative" zero hour contracts. How do they propose to designate what is "exploitative" or is not? Folk work for labour on ZHCs at the moment. Are they being exploited? They propose to make employers take folk on with a regular contract after 3 months. Or more likely let them go. It's a tagline. Nae c**t knows how it will work. That goes for most of their manifesto.

How many zero-hour contracts do you think that the Labour government banned in their last period in government? Or even managed to reduce in number? http://www.theworkfoundation.com/DownloadPublication/Report/339_Flexibility%20or%20Insecurity%20-%20final.pdf Page 23 folks. Tl;dr: Despite entering office in an economic upswing and leaving office with unemployment skyrocketing, there were as many zero-hours contracts at the start of the Labour government as at the end. They did precisely nothing about it, despite three comfortable parliamentary majorities. Do as we say, not as we do - the standard mantra of a brainless Labour goon.

Jesus, you really are a modern politician's dream audience. Have you not noticed the repeated, repeated, repeated use of the word "exploitative"? Now, given that any sane person would describe any form of demand contract which allows the employer to have workers at their beck and call, while offering no security to the worker, as exploitative, why do you think Murphy et al continually use the qualifier?

Three majoroties, the same number of times they cut corporation tax last time they were in office. Then during the referendum it was a terrible thing to do as the SNP planned to do it. Now they plan on doing it again if they get elected. That's Labour for you, principles are non-existent, and any lie is acceptable if it helps the party.
