Real change for Britain?

The Lib Dems' latest mailing, titled REAL CHANGE FOR BRITAIN divides the positive and the negative nice and neatly. On one side of the A4 sheet  is devoted entirely to the awfulness of Britain under New Labour. They maek the place sound almost as bad as the Americans did during their daft healthcare 'debate'.

On the other side, we get some homely pictures of Nick and Vince ,including one of Nick with a pensioner (which is second only to a baby on the list of desirable photoshoot companions).

They set out some not-very-detailed ideas about cutting "waste and red tape" and "cleaning up politics", with each point introduced by a sentence in bold slagging off Labour.

Verdict

There are about eight words of substance in this leaflet. They are: "give people the power to sack corrupt MPs". The rest is mostly negative and a waste of time.
