Sadly, Labour has only one policy – say whatever comes into your mouth that will sound good and appeal to some cohort of the electorate. It’s been that way for a long time with Labour and there is no prospect of any departure from that under the current leadership. Now that they are racing ahead in the polls they are losing the run of themselves in their wholesale resort to populist rhetoric in every policy area. A few years back in one of those interminable reviews as to why they were stuck as the See-Saw Party of Irish politics,(up and down, but generally going nowhere), there was a suggestion that a name change might lead to an improvement in their elecotral fortunes. Now that they’re on the verge of a breakthrough – at least as they see it – a name change might be timely. The Me Fein Party, for instance?

But that just takes away from the policy outlined by Labour.

Keith that ONE change can cause the person to save tens of thousands of Euro and lose the Bank tens of thousands. Considering that some of the banks are owned by us now that is us paying tens of Thousands of euro to people for to have ONE change. There is alot of poor people in the tax brackets now that were not before these people don’t even have their own houses and now they should bail out the middle class who’s financial decisions went wrong?

If Interest rates shoot back up will labour say that people should be allowed ONE change back to fixed rate mortgages for free as well?
