Anyone see this Party Broadcast for the Local Elections by Labour?
Actually pretty funny BUT all it seemed to do was take the piss out of the Tory Leader David Cameron, comparing him to a chameleon who kept changing colour to fit in with others and didnt say anything about the Labour Party or what THEY were going to do, this "party broadcast" was childish and immature IMO and belonged on a satire show.
I thought the point of party broadcasts was tell people about YOUR party and not just take potshots at your enemies.
I wouldnt say I'm Cameron's fan but what Labour have done here is out of order IMO

What are we debating?

You'd think. It's just this reason why the vast majority turn off politics. Adults who rule the country acting like children.

About what we think of the party broadcast and politics in general I thought it should go in Debate.
I'm sure you can see it on davethechameleon.com (or something like that) if you didnt see it.

Anyone see Question Time last night? The first people interviewed saw the humor in the ad but I agree its' a disgrace all the ad does is take the piss out of someone else - how does this satirical sketch which basically says "Cameron is a wanker" make us want to vote labour?
Charles Clarke went on about making choices - OK, but surely to make a choice you look at each party's strengths and weaknesses from an unbiased viewpoint, which the chameleon ad, while funny, clearly wasn't.

Yeah they are I know, but I'm just saying thats not the way to do a party broadcast imo.
