I actually ...I agree with you up to a point, Colin. I actually enjoy hearing the different sides talking positively about their own policies, so I can make my own mind up whether I agree with them or not. What I hate is when people start destructively attacking the other side's <i>personalities</i> instead of their policies. This always happens, but in the old days when it was just the politicians themselves doing it you could ignore them like you say. But in these days of social media, more and more ordinary people do it too - during last year's European elections Twitter and Facebook were overflowing with ad hominem attacks stridently telling people who NOT to vote for. It's all so pointless, too... as if anyone would suddenly turn round and say "Gosh, thanks - I was just about to vote for that guy, but I've changed my mind now that you've yelled at me in UPPERCASE LETTERS." That never happens, does it, so why do people bother?Andrew Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073306343984931484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012179240296572398.post-88488018804089187362015-04-05T15:27:01.422+01:002015-04-05T15:27:01.422+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
