From the start of the UK election campaign, I'd like to be as neutral as possible. I am a floating voter and have still to decide.
We all know only too well that politicians of all colours make promises that are unlikely to be kept. It seems to me that most politicians become politicians to "feather their own nests" rather than for the common good. There are a very few exceptions.
I was dismayed to read on the BBC News Page that an independent watchdog (the National Audit Office) has concluded that the present government's promise to build 200000 starter homes has completely failed with not one being built. Caveat emptor. Pie crusts come to mind as in "promises are like pie crusts" i.e. thin and easily broken.
With over a month to go to the UK election, I forecast a hung parliament with Boris Johnson's Conservative party forming a minority government yet again. So, the mess continues. Whatever your views on BREXIT are, this is like a stuck record.
