Why was the Labour Party heavily defeated in the General Elections?
In 10 points, the Labour Party was defeated because:
1. The Labour Party does not listen to its members. No comments or suggestions from a party member is recognised or responded to. The Labour Party is an arrogant Party
2. The Party failed to explain the critics against it, especially in relation to economic performance which was largely influenced by the global economic crisis
3. The strategy of 'working families" did not work for the families. This strategy seems to suggest that Labour Party does not care about ethnic minority people, disadvantaged people, unemployed people , older and disabled people who can't work because of various reasons including disability and discrimination. The impact of Cameron 's austerity was lacking in the Labour Party's campaign.
4. The Party campaigned a lot about NHS as an institution rather than campaigning about the people that institution serves
5. The reduction of university tuition fees was not included the Labours' promises carved in stone
6. The Party was involved in humiliating, discrimination and arrogance campaign against the Scottish People, especially the SNP
7. There was no difference between the Conservatives' Policies and Labour's Policies about immigration and the economy. Ending austerity was not clearly outlined as one of the Labour's Policies
8. The SNP has been accused of being 'nationalist ' by Ed Miliband. However, this election shows that Ed Miliband's defeat was caused by the rise of 'nationalism' in England. Ed Miliband failed to fight against this trend.
9. Women were absent in Labour Party Campaign ( including the Deputy Leader)
10. Labour Campaign was an 'elite' campaign that did not engage with grassroots activists, people on zero hour contracts, unemployed people, the disadvantaged and working people.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.
