The latest YouGov poll has Labour and the Conservatives neck and neck on 34 per cent, with UKIP on 12 per cent followed by the Lib Dems on 8 per cent and the Greens on 6 per cent.
A hung parliament looks the most likely outcome in May; but there is still time for the polls to change considerably. With or without the support of one of the smaller parties, Labour could edge it.
And so we want to hear from you: what should the next Labour government prioritise in office? Reducing inequality? Improving the NHS? Building more homes? Nationalising the railways? The environment?

Then stop yelling it out.

Renationalisation isn’t always the best option. I’d suggest looking at the NEF’s study as to options such as mutual and non-profit status – not least because it’s harder for future governments to tinker.

You contradict yourself. It’s harder to have business and generate cash with anti-business moves, which wouldn’t even work. No, we should tax in a progressive fashion, not tell people “there is a roof” – and the rich will just earn from shares etc., get paid abroad, etc.
Those who’d be impacted would be those playing by the rules.

Keep using that PC bigotry, as you smear the left with Labour’s right wing views. Labour are not right wing *enough* for you, as you support rising inequality.
Keep attacking those “wasteful” nurses and teachers, the evils of the NHS and universal schooling. The satanism of keeping the poor alive, of helping the British.
No – you might run away, but your lies that only the rich generate wealth and “strive” (collect your corporate welfare cheques), that leeching off the taxpayer is good…when the evidence is that you’d not move your business.
We’re Better Off Without You. Go, run, as you threaten. Off! Stop meddling with Britain.

We’re in deflation. We need inflation.
To you, NOT crashing the economy is to sink it. As the deficit will require ever-more radical measures, ever more poverty and inequality not to rise again as we have a bubble in the city, the only place “growing”.
