Their policies don't seem to make sense. They just seem to get us in a shit heap of debt.
I presume labourer supporters are of the lower class?

Not always.
I didn't meant lower class as such. That has come out as really wrong and I apologize. I just meant lower class like people who rely on benefits to live.
Getting the country into debt is better how?
Go and try somewhere else

Why do we bite?
I just find a total vacuum of policies when it comes to Labour. As for supporting those less well off, it is just a myth they try to peddle. Every Labour Government has ended in failure.
Do you want a spade for that hole you are digging
People always get this the wrong way round.
In 1997, when Labour took office, UK debt was 42.5% of GDP.
In 2007, before the crash, it had fallen to 36.5% of GDP.
Labour brought debt down until the moment they had to bail out the banks.
And the Tories have managed to double the debt since taking over.
But no, google famous labour supporters. There are plenty who are not "lower class" or relying on benefits. Alan Sugar for one.
I imagine that as a top rate tax payer you benefit from my contribution to the national coffers.
No, I'm middle class and voted Labour, I don't know anyone who is on benefits. Every family member and friend of the family has a good job. I'm under no impression that they're an ideal party (no politicians are) but they're in my opinion, a great deal better than the other main option.
Every Tory government ends in failure as well
that's why we have one governemt followed by a different one.............if Governments didn't fail the opposition (of both parties) would never get in...............

Thats not true. Debt came down during Blair's first term but afterwards increased, and the fall during the first term was largely because they were following the Tories spending limits.
Additionally, you are ignoring the hidden debt, specifically PFI.
Shhhh! Don't bring facts into a Labour-bashing thread!
I'm a single white male, on a average income, and Labour screwed me over.
And the Tories are screwing ME over right now. Why would I vote for a party who are making me fearful of the future?
Your last sentence is very stereotypical
