The difference between the parties

The clip below is Labour's Party political broadcast in the run up to the European Parliament elections next month. 

Over the past couple of years when I have spoken to BNP and Indy supporters on the the doorstep when canvassing many have told me that the reason they steer clear of the mainstream parties is because they cannot see a difference between them. I have always known that this was not the case because of the basic ethos of Labour- the reason I joined the party - is so different to that of the Tories and Liberals. We believe that by taking action government can make Britain a better place. The other two parties (and most members would be happy to tell you this) believe that people should be left to their own devices.

In the run up to the Euro elections, we can see the difference between the mainstream parties clearer than ever. A Tory Party that will leave you on your own (they have opposed almost every major government intervention during the economic crisis and advocated allowing market forces to run their course) or a Labour Party that is on your side, investing in industry and public services so that we can grow our way out of recession.
