"Labour performs U-turn on love and marriage ahead of election".


A perfect illustration. This government would sell their grandmothers to retain power for power's sake.

After years of anti-marriage/family policies, we get this, 5 months from an election. Labour's cynicism shows no bounds.


Whether Dave's strategy is the right one or not is open to debate. It is quite plausible that the voters see through Brown and Balls' tactics and no amount of policy copying can save NuLab from annihilation. Given my distrust of the British electorate though, I still believe Cameron to be playing this in the right way. How many folk are really clued up enough about politics to know who said what, first? Not enough, I reckon.

The fact that the media (and PH) are discussing it as openly transparent superficial electioneering means it's a lost cause.

Just like the Meltdown Clown's toffs strategy.

Yep, it's happened before. I would love to see a senior Tory reply to a BBC question about no "policies" by saying "We'd love to reveal our great ideas but we don't want the Labour party to steal them"
