What's the point of a manifesto? It's all but forgotten after the election. What happened to the manifesto promises that Labourhave made in every election since Tony Blair first came into power in 1997?
Manifestos are a waste of time. When they are not followed they go against the fundamental idea of democracy.
I'm sure Hitler's manifesto didn't include mass genocide of the Jews and other groups, or the invasion of most European countries. If it had, it's likely the German people would never have voted for him.
It would be far better to see detailed plans for the next year rather than a bunch of vague, empty promises.
It would be even better if the government had a legal obligation to impliment the manifesto promises that their party made. What do you think?
