Mondeo man puts low-rev Chancellor in slow lane

Article Abstract:

Many ordinary Britons have reacted unenthusiastically to the UK government's 1996 Budget. They feel that the 1p reduction in income tax will not bring them any real benefits, as it will be offset by increased taxes in other areas. There is a strong belief that more money should be made available for vital public services, such as health and education, and that this should be given priority over reducing income tax. For most people, the Budget will not really affect how they vote at the next general election.

Labour vibrant as Tories get election blues

Article Abstract:

The seat of Wirral South has traditionally been held with ease by the UK Conservative party, but it seems very likely that the Labour party will win a clear victory in the by-election which is to take place there on Feb 27, 1997. Unofficial estimates indicate a Labour majority of 2-3,000 on a turn-out of around 65%. The Conservative party is defending a majority of 8,183, with the Conservative candidate in the last three general elections having polled around 25,000 votes.

Election according to Mondeo land

Article Abstract:

The views of the people of Redditch, England, will be very significant in the forthcoming general election, as the town has only a very small Conservative majority. Preliminary research indicates that some residents have already deserted the Conservative party, even though Conservative government has enabled them to become relatively well off. They are particularly concerned about unemployment, health cuts and education.
