Katie Hopkins' character has been discussed to death. Let's talk policies for mumsnet.
Let's pretend it could be Ruth Badger standing as an MEP, or Jordan, or a WAG, or Cameron from Big Brother, or Will Young, Alexandra Burke (X Factor), or Jade (Eurovision).... you get the point.
So here are the policies... and remember Tony Blair's Pledge card was even shorter when you read them...
