Both financially incontinent, both riddled with institutional racism, both lead by incompetents, both refusing to engage with any detail on the biggest change to this country in decades.
So IFS say that neither Tories nor Labour have credible plans.... on 10:00 - Nov 28 by Steve_M

What an absolute sh1tshow.
Politicians doing their utmost to live up to all the stereotypes.

This is a good point although I think it's better to have more information and analysis than less.
I guess Labour upped the ante on analysis when they decided to publish costings last time.
SB
Exactly, they were criticised despite making more effort than any other party to be transparent. I'm not actually sure what the IFS are going on for the Tories given they've announced so few actual policies either.
But yes, I fully welcome stuff like this. If we could vote for the most outwardly competent party then things would be much better. It was a disaster for this country when AV lost. The smaller parties should be picking up millions of voters but we know they won't. Even the LD are probably unlikely to gain from this.

The AV referendum was a Tory stitch up wasn't it? Clegg in his naivety accepted it exactly as Cameron wanted and then the campaign was pretty mendacious (in fact, I think it was Cummings demonstrating his talents for spin and falsehood).

The methodology used in linked in there - do you have what they used to analyse the manifestos?
Given your post I assume you don't - can you explain why rather than have a leading question?
SB
No fair enough that was a leading question and your right I don't now the exact methodology but I would fall over backwards if it wasn't micro-founded macro analysis given the IFS staff are experts in neoclassical economics. I am asking you to put your science hat on and give an opinion as to whether this is a credible methodology. I am asking whether the aggregation problem explained by Philip Anderson is something you believe to be a problem in economics.

Dear Voter by homer_12327 Nov 2019 11:15 You have the right and opportunity to shape the future of your Country by voting in the upcoming general election.
Your options are:
Ankle deep in shi*
Knee deep in sh*t
Up to your neck in sh*t
Clusterf*ck levels of sh*tness
Monster Raving Looney party
Ade Akinbiyi couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo...
The Labour campaign amounts to being ‘Not the Tories’, maybe getting Brexit done plus lots of promises which almost certainly haven’t been costed and won’t be delivered
The Lib Dem’s campaign amounts to being ‘Not the Tories or Labour’, abandoning Brexit...and that’s about it?
Then all the small parties (plus SNP but no one other than Darth cares about Scotland)
I know it’s early days yet but that’s pretty much it isn’t it?
Highlighting crass stupidity since sometime around 2010

And yet if you suggest not voting might be an option people jump on it and call you stupid etc.
Keep voting for Christmas, turkeys. There is little point demanding a change to the electoral system while playing your part in the current one.
Problem is, it would take around 80% of people not voting for anyone to take notice. Local and Euro election turnouts are frequently down to 35% and nobody bats an eyelid.
More useful might be to form new political parties, standing candidates for people to elect. Mainstream ones, not just the Bury St Edmunds Independence Party or the Fruitarian Party (i.e. regional, minority interest or single issue).
And joining the Electoral Reform Society. Turn it into a significant lobby group.

Definitely a lost opportunity.
Jesus, Cummings did that as well? He's basically single handedly fooked us as a country.
