No party has a 2015 manifesto yet, because they are busy throwing the bait into the pond for the gullible fishies.

The question was about policies, you know the things political parties have, they should still exist without an election manifesto as after all an election manifesto is just a bundled confirmation of previously declared policy.
Just out of interest as the leader wrote off the previous policies which made it to the last manifesto as being absolute drivel so they must have some new ones.

You wrote..."its all on their website"
...so are their policies on which the manifesto will be based derived from the latest batch of drivel written by Aker?
If so why are you in favour of such empty twaddle?

Policies! Do any of them have one; they change with the wind.

On FB yesterday, there was a universal sponsored thread from David Cameron - he actually asked for public opinion on immigration, the proposed clampdown on foreigners getting benefits, which they are not entitled too and other points.

Finally someone is trying to gauge public opinion. I could tell him loads if I could get to sit in on a cabinet meeting. :rock:

So do they have any?
What is the policy platform of this party you chose to pay to join.
They have already said their previous policies were drivel so what are their new ones?
You did say it was all on their website.
So where exactly are they?

I thought the existing and long running policy was that no one gets any benefits that they are not entitled to.
There is a whole govt. dept. whose job it is to pay benefits only to people who are entitled to them regardless of if they are foriegners or not.

Didn't your leader say that was probably unachievable?
When pushed did he stumble on if it was even desireable?
Any particular reason why he couldn't name a single major British exporter who was in favour of it? Pretty important that one as he says it is to help British exporters

Drastic changes to immigration
Isn't that a policy of all the parties, you know, political parties that actually have policies?
So are they getting rid of the immigration policy that has been in effect since 1923?

They are making a film about Nick Clegg and his role in the coalition. Apparently they are looking for someone to play his part who the same strength of character, integrity, honesty and fondness in the eyes by the public.
How they are going to make Justin Bieber look that old is beyond me.
