UK Political Parties and the Trade Descriptions Act

Something struck me this morning, if the Trade Descriptions Act could be applied to the UK's political parties, would any of them be immune from prosecution? Today I will deal with the main political parties, tomorrow the minor parties and on Wednesday the regional parties.

The Labour Party:
In theory the party of the working man (and woman), a party devoted to looking after the interests of the working class against the bullying of big business, a party in favour of the redistribution of wealth from rich to poor.
In reality the party of the non-working man (or woman), a party prepared to throw money at the work-shy, the feckless and unproductive public sector employees in return for votes, a party in favour of the redistribution of wealth from the middle-class to the poor and the super-rich.

The Conservative Party:
In theory the party of stability and tradition.
In reality (or at least claimed reality) the party of "change".

The Liberal Democratic Party:
In theory the party of the middle way, of liberal economic and social policy and democracy in politics.
In reality a party with very socialist tendencies and often (from the members if not the leadership) a hatred of capitalism. A party whose blind devotion to the profoundly undemocratic EU and the religion of global warming means that democracy and free speech on these (and other subjects) are verbotten.

UK Independence Party:
In theory a party devoted to standing up for British interests rather than subsuming them in the name of EU integration.
In practice a party devoted to standing up for British interests rather than subsuming them in the name of EU integration.


Draw your own conclusions.... Tomorrow the minor parties...
