How to lose friends and alienate people, a party broadcast brought to you by The Labour Party.

So, in another pre-election stunt, the Labour party moves to ban the currently legal stimulant drug in 'just weeks'. After increasing tension arising between the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs and the government; a seventh key adviser has marked his mistrust and discontent with the current government's methods of dealing with drugs. Eric Carlin, adviser to the Advisory Council on Mephedrone has resigned over what he calls Government minister's desperate attempts to 'appear tough' in the face of difficult drug questions and pre-election probing over Labour's stance on 'legal highs' currently possible with some drugs still legal and able to be possessed under UK law.

Clearly, the media reaction to labour's pre-election campaigning has forced senior party and cabinet members to dramatically respond to events in desperate attempts to claw back votes ahead of a General Election; most likely to be announced on Tuesday 6th April. Labour ministers are not including Gordon Brown on the campaign materials of many senior Labour MP's, including Sadiq Khan and Harriet Harman. Labour are apparently avoiding difficult questions over 'the past', in preference of trying to prophesise the future of Britain under a continued Labour government. Well, it is plain to see that this clearly isn't going to bode well for anyone. Currently, 38 of the countries' leading business professionals are backing Conservative plans for National Insurance cuts - not just in favour of Conservative policy and the party, but rather more a demonstration of no-confidence in the current government's ability to deal with the finances of a country still reeling from the longer term effects of the recession, and a global banking crisis that has seen other countries such as Greece, have to take out huge loans in order to retain strength and confidence in their own economies. Let's face it; business leaders will be backing whoever can provide them with a strong, sensible, feasible, longer term solution, and on-going pragmatic response to a dynamic and constantly evolving financial situation.

Above all, increases in National Insurance will not solve such a deficit, and could indeed have the opposite effect of damaging smaller businesses and firms, together with taking more money from those earning under £45,000 a year. This would be funded by a £6 billion pound Labour government 'wastage' identified by the Conservatives, despite Labour allegations of a VAT increase to fund the slash of the April 2011 due tax increase. Lib Dem shadow Chancellor, Vince Cable, agreed that the increase would above all be 'damaging' to the current UK economy.
