What happened to beautiful political speeches?

Tried to Google it but no matter which bits I searched on the results always pointed back to your original post...so thought it might be your own.

Wot ... made it up??

Who wants emotional vague crap like that? I would much rather have someone who tells us concisely and in plain terms what he plans to do. Party political broadcasts should read like technical reports.

Indeed. It's one thing telling people what your plans are. It's another thing telling them how you're going to implement these plans within a constrained budget and taking into account bizarre humans rights laws pushed onto us by Europe.

But then again. party political broadcasts in the form of technical reports would be a bit like a Mr Kipling cakes advert describing the cakes as "rehydrated chunks of hydrogenated fat, moulded with flour in a greasy factory together with a mix of sugar and mashed-up fruit that was too old for Tesco".
