Sadly, neither party is willing to tell us what their post election plans really are. You could argue that one party doesn't have the real figures and the other is obsessed with spin but I don't think that's the whole story. Early on in the campaign the Tories tried a dash of honesty about the future of public spending and it hit their ratings so badly that they went back to the same old bull**** as before.

Personally, I'm tired of spin, tired of stealth taxes, and tired of deceitful government. Today I read that Labour would commit that they won't increase income tax, but I remember last time they promised that. We got an uncapped 1% increase in National Insurance instead. Income tax in all but name.

I'd love to vote Labour back in and make them clean up their own mess. But they would just see it as a mandate to screw us around some more, so I definitely won't be voting for them.

I live in a borough that's very solidly Tory, so I think I might indulge in some protest voting and try to save the deposit for one of the minority candidates.
