I've just given an example of the Tories speaking up and Labour stealing the policy. I'm sure there are many others

The opposition role is to oppose the gov't not to put forward the minutia for a manifesto when there is no election.

The next election won't be about policy, it will be about the personality of the leader and the perceived competence of each party, much like the last few elections then.

As somebody who lives in C&N and hence voted, I have to say I've found myself bemused by all the interest. I've never known so much effort go into any election I've been old enough to vote in. Our paper recycling bin is stuffed full of letters, leaflets and more from every party (bar that fit bird though)

I think that is unfair since NL have demonstrated that they will indeed steal other people's policies as their own. I think he has no option but to wait until the next election before he states his policies in full. I think most people who take an interest in our own politics could come up with some very good suggestions anyway. Best to leave this sorry load of incompetents to stew in their own juice. Its just a worry what they will be able to do to further destroy this country in the time they have left.

You sound like a nice girl, if a bit misguided. What kind of bargains do you have on offer?
