You can download this as a 110-page PDF file from their website (no wonder nobody bothers to read them) but fortunately for you, dear readers, I am here to give you my breakdown of the main points in the Liberal Democrats manifesto.
Has Nick Clegg’s popularity bubble reached the point where it’s about to burst? Today the right-wing Fleet Street artillery have locked their sights on the Liberal Democrat leader, dredging up parts of his past that he probably didn’t want us to know about. This catapulting of shit towards Mr Clegg will only get worse as the election approaches in the hope that something sticks on him – presuming his short term popularity gains have the necessary staying power to keep him up there in the polls.
David Cameron has every need to come out with his guns blazing after his nervous and on the whole quite poor performance on the Leaders’ Debate last week, and one can certainly say the publicity floodgates have opened.

Negative campaigning; about the only thing Labour is actually good at. I recieved a campaign leaflet from ‘local’ Liebour MP Gordon Marsden today and just as I expected it was peppered with cheap swipes at other parties especially the Tories. This guy has been in Blackpool for 13 years, never lived here and shows no commitment to Blackpool and yet he is negatively campaigning, pathetic. It just gives me yet another reason to unseat him. Anyone who cares about Blackpool will vote for anyone but Marsden or Hamish.

Today I’ve been leafletted again by Ronald Bell, and this time it’s a glossy, double-sided A3 sheet entitled “Change”.
I have to say, it’s rather better than the last one and focuses more on positive campaigning than trying to fob us off that he doesn’t support Kensington when we all know otherwise. That topic still creeps in, though.

I love UKIP. Ever since rubber-faced Farage appeared on the scene I have followed their ascent into the mix of single-issue fringe party politics, culminating in the acheivement of electing 12 Members of the European Parliament.

It’s being reported today that Conservative advisor Sir Peter Gershwin has leaked some of the ways David Cameron intends to save £12billion to pay for the national insurance freeze.
According to reports, up to £2bn can be saved immediately by not replacing back office staff that leave or retire from the public sector. Financial boffins have stated that this could lead to a cut of between 20,000 and 40,000 jobs, but given the range they have quoted, their methodology and calculations must be far from precise.
