You're not supposed to read it!Jesus Christ on a bike, if people read manifestos, they'd actualy be taking responsibility for the future of the country instead of blindly putting a tick in the box next to the party their parents voted for. That'd bugger up the whole status quo, and then where would we be?
People might start asking questions. That's where. Before you know it, they'd want to know why their democraticaly elected representatives weren't representing them at all, and toeing the party line instead.
Then they might start wondering why they needed representing at all, and why they couldn't vote on major issues of the day themselves, given how easy it is to organise with the internet.

and thenif you vote for them, you're implicitly agreeing with *everything* in the manifesto - "Well, the public voted for it so we must do it"
such a lot of fuss over a little cross in a box
we should all just have marshmallows instead

I like the sound of that.We should replace the title format for MP's with it.
Going from:
The Right Honourable Fred Fredderson, Member of Parliament
To:
Fred Fredderson the Snivelling Lying Fucking Cunt
Everybody would know where they stood, then.
