General Election 2010

Lib Dem's only mantra is "we have stated how we will pay for this" but it's damn easy to say what taxes you will raise and what exciting promises you can make when you know you're never actually going to have to do any of it.

People want the parties to be different, they want new ideas, when a new (kind of) party distinguishes itself with progressive tax policies, people say "well they would say that".

British people put up with the politics they complain about, because they go someway to engineering it. Either hesitating to consider change, or taking no active interest until it's on ITV primetime.
