    (1) No tax rises (except for a few rich people with £1m houses)
    (2) Deficit under control, due to fall dramatically
    (3) No cuts in services or spending (see also 2)

    How can they lose?
    66% of the petrol duty increase deferred until after the election.

    Well, without it being a give away it is 100% political. I don't think it's going to persuade any floating voters with any nowse. Unfortunately, a lot of people in this country are suckered in by that sort of Labour BS.
    It might just be enough to persuade many that were thinking of abandoning Labour not to do so.
