Will Labour:
Put a cap on Financial Services bonuses?
Revoke the need for photo ID at elections?
Nationalise the utilities? Which?
Call a general election should the party need to replace its Leader?
Retain the triple lock?
Consider an EU referendum?
Build on the green belt and change planning laws?
Some of these questions are selfish, some are rules that irk me, some are bigger issues. The big issues I’m getting a handle on.
We’re finding out some of the plans for the manifesto (not enough IMO still but understand the reasons why.
Looking forward to the results/opinions.
Heh, heh, heh.
Quality proddery, my friend.
Yet as our other friend Ian keeps telling us, surely it'll all appear in the manifestos.
Y'know, the same manifestos he, as an admitted Lib' Dem' supporter, like another friend 'DitC', have repeatedly excused being torn to shreds when that party leapt so willingly into bed with the austerity imposing Tories.
Yet he now demands definitive pledges from Labour. A scrutiny so obviously lacking of other parties. In the same way questions of costing from them are similarly absent.
Meanwhile 'Valley' is suddenly interested in a way only the mention of migrants or Muslims usually trigger a response.
I can only repeat my frustration at my party. I want bold; I want decisive; I want transformational. However they, I, and we all know seventy five percent of the media will immediately escalate their lie laden smear-fest the minute that happens.
So to put it in Town terms they're being 'Duncan' rather than 'Cook'...
