What I mean by this is - have you noticed that the political parties aren't talking about anything that they're proposing, all they're talking about is what the other party isn't doing. Like Michael Howard's little publicity coup with the pensions - it was all about what Labour have done wrong in the last 8 years and nothing about what Conservatives are planning to do about pensions.

All the advertisement hoardings are the same - Labour are using images of Maggie, Major and Howard to say how bad Conservatives will be and Conservatives are using hospitals and schools to illustrate how bad Labour have been.

I don't know about you but it would be nice if the candidates actually stood up and said what they stand for. I'd like to vote for a party that has policies I support instead of voting for a party because I disagree with what another party has done.
