Yes, they have indeed, but I have actually seen the Conservatives give information out on their policies. I may have to look harder, but I haven't yet seen any Labour propaganda about their policies yet. The leaflet that came through the door the other day was filled with lovely "praise" for Michael Howard, calling him a Thatcherite among other pleasant things, with a section on our useless MP.

He doesn't strike me as an especially great leader either, but I've seen plenty of Parliamentary sessions where he has torn strips from Tony Blair in the debates, so it looks like he is at least quick-witted enough to handle Parliament and the Media. He was the Home Secretary in the last Conservative government, so he has held a Ministerial position before, so I do have some confidence in him as a Prime Minister - at least to be better than Gordon Brown (It's only a matter of time) - although I somewhat doubt we will ever see it.
