It is a good answer to think that activists want to get a deeper knowledge of party policy but I would still want to know why my policy was better. <br /><br />I will get round to looking at other manifestos but it is going to be a busy few weeks. It is nice to know what others are promising even if it is not achievable.<br /><br />We are gradually moving away from using shops, some would say rapidly moving away but there are some great advantages to going to the shops.Michael Gradwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102079812955383309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601112239298331116.post-44206332352994650302010-04-25T10:14:17.534+01:002010-04-25T10:14:17.534+01:00I fully understand you wanting to buy them from a ...I fully understand you wanting to buy them from a bookshop.

I especially recommend the SNP one; they have slightly different variants of some of our policies and wild spending promises COMPLETELY without any explanation of how they plan to afford them save for a threat/promise to secure matched spending for the London Olympics for Scotland (how, when they're guaranteed to be the minority party? They don't say.) Uncommon for a Scottish LibDem I've normally got a lot of time for the Nats, but it's weird to see a party /in government, no less/ releasing a manifesto that's up there with RESPECT and the BNP as far as the achieve-ability of their policies is concerned.Duncannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601112239298331116.post-89401059577030343612010-04-25T01:04:39.316+01:002010-04-25T01:04:39.316+01:00In all fairness, I'm sure a lot of activists b...In all fairness, I'm sure a lot of activists buy the manifesto so that they can answer questions on the doorstep.Foregone Conclusionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15299377986312285047noreply@blogger.com
