[Margaret Pilkington]

Politics should not be a 'circus'. So we should need no clowns.

What you are saying, is that if the parties ceased to produce manifesto's then it would all be alright...we wouldn't feel so cheated(or at least that is what I think you are saying...I'm pretty sure you will enlighten me if I have got it wrong).
So how would you decide who to vote for in the absence of this pack of lies?
Do you vote for someone because of the banner they trade under....or what?

I prefer to think about who to vote for...to see if the values of the party sync with my core values.......I have never been someone who voted for a party just because it was Labour, or Tory, or Green.
Perhaps that is where I have gone wrong.
I sure as hell misread our current MP.
