That’s the nature of politics unfortunately, if any of the political parties told the full truth of what they plan whilst the others didn’t it would be political suicide.
We all say we want politicians to be truthful, but when they are it backfires because the media twist what they say and we (the public) lap it up. Just look at how Prime Ministers Question Time (total waste of time IMO) all the media ever pull from it is negative sound bites and since hardly anyone watches the whole PM Question Time (on the Parliament Channel) the negative sound bites is all we hear about, so all the MPs ever do is knock one another and achieve nothing. Watch Parliament at other times (when there’s about 6 MPs in session) and it’s far more productive/truthful.
