Let's think about this one for a second ... ok done ... One of the major complaints voiced on here, and in all parliamentary democracies for that matter, is that manifestos, platforms, ... call 'em whatever you like ... are just a bunch of lies hammered together to get votes. They are something politicians can conveniently dump once a party gains power. Economic targets missed, tax cuts delayed, promised referendums put off until some J. Wellington Wimpy future tuesday ... bottom line is that they are a crock of horse manure. So what does it matter that they don't have a detailed list of promises to break? And how, by the way, are your "big two" parties "manag[ing] welfare, the economy or other important issues"? Maybe a lot of folks are just voting for change, opting to give the new guy a shot.
