  • Yep. Was just pointing out that the whole thing is on trust and that trust can be well placed or misplaced but just because something is in a manifesto doesn't mean it's good or will be done well (Brexit) and just because something you want isn't in the manifesto doesn't mean you won't get it (BOE rate setting independence) basically the manifestos are worthless and take on trust the party of your choice.

    This time round it's not even that complicated, you just vote for whichever party will help ensure a Tory doesn't win in your constituency

  • Apologies, I was saying that both of those outcomes were bad (BoE independence and brexit), and ultimately a strategy of hiding intent is not good for the democratic process.

    The manifestos clearly are worthless in practice, but they really ought to be meaningful.
