Just before the election - they will try to survive on marketing presentations until then, as any detail will be used (just like any other parties) to "spin" the worst possible scenario.
eg - Tories will cut waste in NHS/Education/Forces/etc
spin = Heartless Right-Wing zealots, who don't care about ordinary working people, to cut funds to NHS / worsen little children's education / weaken our boys in Iraq / etc.

I think the big problem now is that all parties instinctively attack the others policies, instead of asking "does this help the country?".

I think we need to get back to "country above party", but I don't know how we will.

Hey, I just realised - this contribution was actually relevant to the thread header - wahay!
