Lib Dems in Axe Council Tax Shocker!

Anyone who believes that political life today is the manifestation of style over substance really ought to read the Rich Text File version of the Lib Dems' manifesto, which is going for a very retro mid-1990s effect.

That said, 'Battlebus' would have made a good name for an election blog, as opposed to the one we thought up one night over drinks in Soho. You should have seen the ones we didn't use.

Update: At the opposite end of the Euro spectrum, Veritas also launched their manifesto today. Apparently they "won't allow British people to be intimidated by the political elite telling us what to think and say." and want a flat tax.
