POLL: Was John McDonnell right to reject George Osborne’s fiscal charter?

Left Foot Forward

Have your say

 

First the shadow chancellor John McDonnell said the Labour Party would vote in favour of chancellor George Osborne’s so-called fiscal charter (the charter would legally prevent governments from spending more than they bring in in tax revenue when the economy is growing). And then, yesterday, McDonnell appeared to do a complete U-turn. Labour will now oppose Osborne’s charter.

And so our question to you is: should this have been Labour’s position all along? Is Labour right to oppose the chancellor’s fiscal charter?

    Labour MP that vote against the Party tonight are voting against over 90% of the membership’s wishes. We will call for their immediate deselection

    Last time I checked it was votes rather than party members that won elections – although looking at the SNP seats with less votes than UKIP perhaps I am wrong? Heyho – hopefully Labour lives in same dreamworld as you and stick with their current team to 2020 as they will be wiped out.

    I suspect it was ironic 🙂
