Red, blue - or yellow?

I suppose I should say something about this coming election - but what? It's a bit like the "phoney war" at the beginning or WWII - you know there's something nasty coming your way, but you don't know what it is. Back then it was because nobody knew - this time it's because nobody is prepared to say. All parties are desperate not to frighten us by revealing exactly what they plan if they win the election, and so they mouth generalist platitudes and vague terms like "there will be tough decisions". About the only distinction between the two main parties appears to be that Labour's "day of reckoning" may be delayed a little more than the Conservatives' - though I wouldn't put money on it. So really there's little to say.
