Why was the Labour Party heavily defeated in the General Elections?

 

In 10 points, the Labour Party was defeated because:

 

1. The Labour Party does not listen to its members. No comments or suggestions from a party member is recognised or responded to. The Labour Party is an arrogant Party.

 

2. The Party failed to  explain  the critics against it, especially in relation to economic performance which was largely influenced by the global economic crisis.

 

3. The  strategy of 'working families" did not work for the families. This strategy seems to suggest that Labour Party does not care about  ethnic minority people, disadvantaged people, unemployed people , older and  disabled  people  who  can't work because of various reasons including disability and discrimination. The impact of Cameron 's austerity was lacking in the  Labour Party's campaign.

 

4. The Party campaigned a lot about NHS as an institution rather than campaigning about the people that institution serves.

 

5. The reduction of university tuition fees was not included the  Labours' promises  carved in stone.

 

6. The Party was involved in  humiliating, discrimination and arrogance campaign against the Scottish People, especially the SNP.

 

7. There was no difference between  the Conservatives' Policies and Labour's Policies about immigration and the economy. Ending austerity was not clearly outlined as one of the Labour's  Policies.

 

8. The SNP has been  accused of being 'nationalist ' by Ed Miliband. However, this election shows that Ed Miliband's defeat was caused by the rise of 'nationalism' in England. Ed Miliband failed to  fight  against this  trend.

 

9. Women were absent in Labour  Party Campaign ( including the Deputy Leader).

 

10. Labour Campaign  was an 'elite' campaign that did not  engage with grassroots activists, unemployed people, people on zero-hour contracts, the disadvantaged and working people.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.
