dave the chameleon (party political broadcast)

Well, Tony has told us why we shouldn't vote for my cameron's tory party but not why we should vote Labour. Its all very well putting people off the Tory party but unless we try and turn them on the labour party who knows were their vote will go?

I have never liked political parties telling me why i shouldn't vote for their rivals!

Up until last year i was a floating voter since i became old enough to vote.

I am a grown man and i will make my own mind up based on what all the parties have done so far, what they are going to do and why they are going to do it and how they are going to do it.

Political parties should concentrate on selling their policies rather than lecturing as to why we shouldn't vote for their rivals.

Am I going soft or making a valid point? Surely to combat political apathy we need to put out sensible intelligent view points and polices rather than that stupid (but funny) broadcast last night.

Surely all the money spent and being spent on dave the chameleon broadcasts would have been better off as a short film on how flagship labour councils are doing so the people can see tangible benefits to voting labour at local level.

Sadly i believe that last nights broadcast will do absolutely nothing to sway floating voters to vote labour and may even hinder the chances of the labour party in tory/lib dem strong holds.

I think labour have panicked over Cameron and thought it would serve as a quick fix.

Labour have got so much to be proud of and at a local election level do not need to resort to these negative tactics.
