How Labour depends on the votes of Welfare Britain

This is just putting to print what is already known by the public. This holds true for all leftist parties that the welfare segment of the population depends on them to keep the welfare checks coming forever. This would be the bloodsucking social parasites of the society.

Labour has been accused of relying on the 'welfare vote' after the Conservatives published a provocative league table ranking Commons seats according to the number of benefit claimants. A total of 189 constituencies in the first 200 are represented by Labour MPs, which the Tories claim explains why Ministers are failing to tackle the spiralling welfare bill. Gordon Brown and 12 Cabinet colleagues represent seats in the top 200, while just four have a Tory MP. But Labour fought back, saying the research highlighted a widening gulf between the Conservative Party and the most disadvantaged sections of society. The row is the first salvo in what is set to be a bitter Election battle over benefits. David Cameron has set up a top-level policy group, headed by Shadow Chancellor George Osborne, to look at ways of cutting the number of claimants. The annual £165billion welfare budget is predicted to balloon further over the next two years as the recession squeezes jobs - unemployment figures being released on Wednesday are expected to show the count passing the 2.5million mark. The list, which covers seats in England, Wales and Scotland, ranks constituencies according to the proportion of working-age adults in receipt of incapacity, lone parent or jobseeker benefit. Other allowances, such as Housing Benefit, are excluded as they are also claimed by the retired. The top constituency is Liverpool Walton, represented by Labour's Peter Kilfoyle, where 28.9 per cent of adults claim benefits. Mr Kilfoyle has been vocal on reform ideas, recently criticising plans to hire multinational companies to run back-to-work schemes.
