The 86-page manifesto, which is 20,421 words long......

Thank God, we agree at last, well said fella, you got a thanks for that.

We would agree more if you weren't backing the wrong side!

Thats your opinion, mine is that UKIP are frauds with no policies at all.

I listened to an interview with Theresa May earlier on, quite by chance on a German English language radio station. Whoever this guy was (obviously a political correspondent) but he wiped the floor with her, to a point that i doubt he'll ever get the chance to interview her or come to that anyone else from the Tory Party again!! lol!!

He let her spill out the new Tory manifesto, then started asking some very pertinent questions, which on occasion got rather heated to say the least, but he wasn't going to be sidetracked easily. At the end of the interview he told her straight that he had asked her a dozen questions that she had not been able to give a single meaningful answer too, just referring back to what's written in the manifesto, and that he was just as much in the dark as when he compiled his questions.

It's a shame the political broadcasters/ correspondents in the UK can't be the same, instead of just letting politicians get away with not answering anything that will show them up for what they are ...Puppets to a Party line!!

John Humphrys did a reasonable job on her this morning, no real answers to the questions.

As an aside, the right to buy is out of the blue, they must be very worried about the way their campaign has gone so far.
They thought they would walk it just by vilifying Ed Miliband, now they think bribery is the answer. Again no answere to how they will pay for it.

Geez, tell us something new, Eng!

After a recent thread on ''leasehold property'', someone with some knowledge stated that the majority of Housing Association properties are leasehold... So yet again the every day guy in street is going to be sold a pup, a property that will eventually decline in value, rather than increase as can be expected from a freehold property!!

 

[Engineer54]

Geez, tell us something new, Eng!

And when have you ever heard a UK political correspondent tell any politician straight, that the 20 minute interview, was a complete waste of time for him and any interested party?? Because i never have, ...ever!!

 

[andyb]

Probably won't happen Eng.
This will cost billions, how can they make housing associations sell their housing stock?
It's just a bribe to working people to get them to vote against their own interests.
And it will probably work.

I think we both know their policy on immigration - and one that neither of us agree with.

Never if in government, I have seen though kay burley and eamon homes slate anyone from labour everytime they talk to them and also suck up to any tories, there is no doubt in my mind and no-one here will convince me otherwise that Sky TV is Tory Bias, they are now reporting a Labour members son tried to join ISIS, not a british born citizen but a Labour members son, disgusting propaganda, I will burn in hell before voting Tory.

Okay fair enough, you got me there, and their policy on the EU as well, and I heard Farage say he will abolish the Bedroom tax, so to be fair he has 3, that is 3 pages, to keep up with labour he only needs another 20,418.

That's the problem with all UK politicians, you Never get any real answers to the questions being asked and why you can't believe any of them... This guy just wasn't use to not getting questions answered. He kept forcibly asking her when are you going to give me answer to any of my questions... lol

Funny enough the last question this guy asked her was about her statement about Ed Miliband stabbing his brother in the back. He then went on to ask what she will be doing when Cameron stands down and she is fighting for the Tory leadership. Won't she be stabbing her Tory colleagues in the back?? It all went downhill from there on in... lol!

I completely disagree with you on this matter, who and I say who in their right minds is going to read a manifesto that long and the Conservative one is slightly longer.

Madness.

Both completely ignore the fact that a hung parliament is most likely and another coelition is on the cards.......

AND

So the 2 main parties have now published their manifestos - and they have both pretty much ignored THE ELEHPANT IN THE ROOM.

What are they going to do to curb the population rise?
What are they going to do to make housing more affordable?
Where are all the plans for all the schools and infrastructure for the growing population?
Where are the funds for the aging population?

Steal UKIP's plan, control immigration and get out of the EU would be the obvious common sense answer.

 

[micknew]

No disagreement, thats interesting common sense prevailing at last.
