My VIEWPOINT on the General Elections in The UK!

VIEWPOINT:

It is quite obvious to me that Labour will be re-elected to continue the administration of the United Kingdom. I cannot see a landslide victory for labor, but they will win nevertheless, with a slim majority in Parliament.
Even though Labour did not have a precise theme/package to sell to the nation & their constituents, and the solidarity of traditional labour voters.

But voting in the traditional way, was greatly eroded in some constituencies. This results from the general view held by many, that the Prime Minister did not come clean with his intention to engage Britain in the War in Iraq.
Mr. Blair have tried to exonerate himself from direct blame, by emphasizing that the decision to go to war, was based on the accumulated evidence from Interpol, MI5, The FBI, the Inspectors reports submitted by Mr. El Baradei (The Chief Inspector), on the team that visited Iraq several times. That Sadaam still had the potential to develop WMD's, or the potential to manufacture them.

The British people (by & large) did not suspect that Mr. Blair had no credible evidence, to warrant the eventual invasion of Iraq, and for not telling the commonweal of Britain exactly so. But Mr. Blair contends that Sadaam Hussein was an evil & despicable despot, who have had weapons of mass destruction in the past, have used some of it on his own people, and will not hesitate to do so in the future, if he is not stopped. So removing Sadaam from power was in the interest of that region and the world at large.

However, the expenditure of British involvement militarily in this war is growing daily. Public expenditure overall is rising steadily, and not much evidence of 'better days are here again' that is convincing enough to the commonweal, that social changes, economic growth, and employment opportunities generally is improving.

In the Communities Of Colour, employment opportunities are dwindling, discrimination or hiring practices seem to discriminate in favour of White British nationals. This perceived crisis is very troubling to minorities, and they see no alternative recourse from the Conservatives either.
If Labour wins this election, will they increase Taxes and Public Expenditure even further? Will the employment situation for minority groups & other Communities Of Colour, improve significantly?

Mr. Blair has lost the public trust in his credibility! With this reality hounding him currently, his position in Parliament, and at the helm of the government, will be very interesting to watch unfold in the near future, should Labour elected to office.
