My apologies for only pointing out that Labour were using negative tactics - I think it is wrong of all parties to do so.

Those two statements appear contradictory.....
What about the hypocrisy of "Gordon" and "Mandy" and "Ed" proclaiming far and wide that the Tories are going to raise VAT, but when asked for a guarantee that they would not raise the rate of VAT, were not
forthcoming? (or is it only hypocrisy when someone else does it, and prudent and being open to changing circumstances when your own party does it?
).
Quote:
Among Labour's manifesto commitments are not to raise income tax rates in the next Parliament, and not to extend VAT to items like food and children's clothes.
Asked for a firmer commitment to rule out a rise in VAT, Mr Brown said: "We have not raised VAT since 1997, the only party that has raised VAT in the last 25 years is the Conservative Party."
