Why does Labour keep winning?

FURTHER to the recent by-election results. Having analysed the results, I am left wondering what Labour would have to do to lose in Rotherham and areas like it?

Denis MacShane was found guilty of obtaining money in expenses by deception. This is not to mention his earlier claims that his garage was his office. It is noticeable that every MP jailed for fiddling their expenses are from the Labour Party.

His successor, Sarah Champion, was forced upon the local Labour Party by the bullying and controlling Labour National Executive Committee, causing such upset locally that most of the local Labour party got up and walked out of the selection meeting!

On top of this we had the shenanigans of the local Labour-controlled council, snatching back foster children from innocent local people, who might have the sheer audacity to vote UKIP.

Labour has had a stranglehold on Rotherham since the 1930s and it has done Rotherham no favours whatever. Yet, given the chance to protest what do the locals do in the face of all of these problems? Well, those that could be bothered went out and gave another Labour candidate a thumping great majority.

That'll teach 'em......Is it any wonder that politicians treat the people with such utter contempt?
