they make it difficult to find out what they stand for because if they made it easy everyone would be disappointed.

Ed Balls made it all pretty clear during the last budget bebate - Labour, who decry everything this government has done over the last five years, wouldn't reverse anything in the 2015 budget. ok, so it wasn't the most radical budget in british history, but if they aren't going to change much, whats the point of voting for them?

similar thing with the Greens this morning - Natalie Bennet was on the Today programme talking about defence cuts. whats their actual policy? to retain current capabilities (except CASD) and planned manpower levels till at least 2020.

if being a Green is your thing - with all the peace and love crap that goes with the rhetoric of the green party - why on earth would you bother your arse getting out of bed to vote for the reality of their policy? nice dig about Brighton council - Green party run - being 308th out of 328 councils for recycling as well....
