Vote SNP, Get .....

Labour's latest marketing masterplan.
It's a slogan, which really gets to the nub of the their mentality.
After 12 years of government they're reduced to the standard Labour issue strain of dialectic.
No achievements, no great pronouncements, just the usual negative stuff.
Now, no one wants (well, I don't, anyway) a Tory government, purely on gut instinct grounds, but really couldn't Labour have done better than this tripe.

Not, I think, that this credo will have much mileage in good old East Lothian.
Given that our Tory amigos are flatlining here, the propositions are simple:

Vote SNP, get me! - Actually that sounds a little camp, maybe I should rephrase that one.
Vote Tory, Get Labour.
Vote LibDem, Get Labour.
Vote Labour, Get Anne Moffat.


Now, as an alternative, how about...
Vote Labour, get an NHS ..... no, for some reason that didn't get the vote.
Vote Labour, get a peaceful and moral foreign policy.... heh heh, stop it, it tickles!
Vot Labour, get a strong pension system....... I think I've just sprung a rib, stop! Ooops nope, I've just lost my retirement fund to Gordy's raid on pensions.
Vote Labour, get a strong econom...... uh huh, right.

Perhaps, "Vote Labour, Because We're Desperate and Clueless" should be considered; it at least has the ring of truth about it.
