Gosh. we have a politics section! This may explain why my politics thread in Chat died a death!

But I really think it's a debate worth having! So I'm trying again

I would love politicians to say "Here are our policies. This is what we see for the future, this is what we want to do..."

Instead of saying that the other party is crap and doing everything wrong. They did this and they did that and this failed and that was wrong...

I want parties to concentrate on what THEY can offer, not what the other parties are doing wrong, picking holes in them and yelling at each other.

or am I missing the point?

Who do you vote for? The one with the funniest abuse of the other parties? the one with the loudest voice? The one with the most criticisms? Because you can't vote for the one with the best policies and outlook, because they don't bloody focus on telling you that!

All they do, in this old boys club, is sit jeering and trying to score points off each other. Why can't they set out what they can do for the country instead?

Oy! Not all parties are the same!

Will be interesting to see how these planned TV debates pan out. It's that politician way of talking, isn't it, where they never give a straight answer, but bang on about what they won't do wrong, not like the other guys did, oh no; but not what they WILL do... Until you lose the will to live. Or throw something at the TV.

(In other news, we have also recently acquired a 'feminism' section. Maybe we were looking a bit, er, biscuit-y in the papers)

It is most annoying but it seems to be the way politics is and they wonder why we have severe voter apathy in the UK.

Surely they don't think they are being engaging?!
