I think this is very sad really. Political parties are really failing to stimulate interest in our free and democratic society and unfortunately the fault lies in a failing of quality leadership at the highest levels. Never forget that it took a long time and suffering to achieve the right to vote.
I'm not sure that anyone goes as far as promising the earth but I do think the the government has not helped the NHS by throwing money at it and building huge hospitals, indeed it seems now to have become normal to throw money at anything that's not performing well.
In the end people themselves should take more interest in state affairs and get involved in the political process.
