    Was disappointing to see so much pussyfooting and backpedalling on stuff like this from Labour over the past 18 months.

    I’ll be over the damned moon if they put some strong climate positive policies in the manifesto.

    Is it too much to hope for electoral reform too?

      They had Gordon Brown do a huge review of the constitutional make up of the UK with a view to reform, particularly around the lords and devolution. I’ll be very disapointed if none of his recomendations make it into the manifesto.

    So they don’t believe in it, they’re just using it to win an election?

    I assume this will go the same way as Kier’s leadership pledges. Out of the window when no longer convenient.

      I don’t much care whether they believe something or what their inner motivation is, so long as they follow through with actual laws and spending to do the right thing.

        Well if they don’t when they’re in power, punish them at future local elections and then the next general election.
