Enough of the censorship of what can be broadcast on television by political parties. There should be no time or budget limit on advertising at all.

It seems that many of our OEing brethren get turned onto the green cause by the dirtiness of London... plus banning everything doesn't seem so bad when you're supporting that ban from the safety of another country. Not many of them seem to make the connection that they'd never have been allowed to fly all the way around the world (carbon) to pursue economic opportunities (free movement of labour) if the Greens actually had their way. I think it's like when teenagers move out of home but hope strongly that their parents leave their room as it was instead of converting it to a better use.

We're seeing which parties are committed to fair and open elections. And it sure as heck aint Labour or the Greens :grins: It is good to see them approaching this in an open, non-secret fashion.

Just giving us more generous spending limits and time limits and the like, compared to the Heleban, I would regard as a betrayal.
