It helps to simplify politics I think. None of the parties really have nice names, except perhaps the Greens.
I’d also make it a key policy (whatever party I sat with) to reintroduce steam traction on Britain’s railways. A vote for Laz is a vote for steam trains. Who’s going to vote against steam trains?
On SecularJurist’s note, I don’t know why more parties don’t hone in more closely on policies that some voters will love so much that they’ll definitely vote for them, without alienating anyone enough to change their vote the other way.
eg overturning the ban on drinking at football games (within sight of the pitch). Some people may think this is not a good idea, but none of them are going to change their vote because of it. Whereas loads of football fans would vote for anyone proposing this.
Labour less so. I mean there is an argument that they are (at least trying to be) the party for people who have to work for a living.but most people just associate it with trades unions. Reflects where the money comes from of course. The importance of union power and money of course not explains why Labour has never been a socialist party.
you're all going to lol at me, but I genuinely didn't know it was called the 'Conservative and Union Party' until that speech outside No10 May did when she sold out to the DUP

An oxymoron, surely?
It also sounds like marketing directed at innocent students for a 'career' in private practice.

the aesthetic qualities, flexibility, safety and efficiency of steam traction have benefits that all can see
and the uk has a near inexhaustible supply of coal, still.

No, I wasn't referring to drinking at football matches. That wasn't the crux of my comments.

There is much to be learnt from a careful study of the election of 1896.

Anything with Common Sense in the name is nailed on Tory.
You need a nice meaningless name like a utility or insurance company. Shame Centrica is taken really.
