It's the daftest slogan of all time.
Of course it's about the future, you can't change the past.
And 'fair" must by definition mean "fair for all" or else it's not fair.
So if you strip out the superfluous words, what their slogan boils down to it "fair".
As they have been scarcely more "fair" than the Tories over the last thirteen years - the main beneficiaries have been home-owners, bankers, quangocrats, and there's no reason to assume that the Tories would have been much better - I think that "fair" actually fails on the evidence.
So really their new slogan is nothing at all, it does not exist.

I just wish that TB, GB and the whole of New Labour, had never existed!

More like a "'future fear for all' based on the economic strife we all face

'Our fearful fat liar' is an anagram of 'future fair for all'

"This year's election will be a big choice about the change we want for Britain. I believe that together we can build a new age of aspiration - a future fair for all."
"The Tories threaten an age of austerity - a change you can't afford."
13 years of Labour and they now talk of change. During their time in office they had the mother of all booms, took in shed loads of tax and managed to blow the lot. Now they have the cheek to criticise the Tory age of austerity, like the Tories have a choice, the country is bankrupt thanks to Labour. The trouble is the Sheeple may just fall for it. After all, Browns sugar coated dream world that is fair for all does sound appealing.

Such a lack of choice between parties whom will carry out the same policies if elected.
Heard a lot of interest for UKIP from friends although not interested in voting for them personally.

"a future fair for all"
Labour make me sick, and in the same week that they talk of a death tax for those who have been responsible citizens, hows about a party that promotes "a future fair to those who have earned it"

I don't think that the parties have much choice anymore. All the decisions have been made, when the money is gone, its gone.
Really, what GB is doing now is forcing certain actions onto the Tories, they have no choice but to cut and attempt to restrict borrowing. Whether they are ideologically inclined to do so or not is irrelevant.

@hp 4... Very good, I like it. What are the chances of that? Someone behind the scenes playing with the 'self destruct' button perhaps! Watch your back GordoB.

@7. Could always install temporary nationalization of all UK companies making grossly huge profits out of contrast to the current economic environment. Extreme conditions warrant extreme measures.

Isn't what is going on now just the continuation of an established pattern. Vote in a Labour government who spend too much and create inflation followed by a Tory government who, once they have redressed the balance, get too mean and pave the way for the next Labour government.
