As the UK fast approaches a general election does anyone actualy know what the three main parties stand for?

After looking at who's online and having to go through 10 pages to find anyone from the UK I realise I may have killed the thread by mentioning the UK elections. However having watched the US election last year where Obama stole Bob the Builders catchphrase "yes we can" and had half of the US chanting away for six months or more, I will change my question slightly. Do any of the political parties have an ideology nowardays or is it all about critisising their opposition?

I think the parties consist of millions of people with millions of ideologies and ethics and approaches. I think there are those like OBama who have ideas that dont require tearing down others,, but I think the ones we SEE the most in the media(quite naturally) are those with 'opinions' about everyone and everything that involve putting down others.

I don't follow UK politics that closely, but I love the questions for the Prime Minister. I watch that every week and find it to be some of the best political theatre around.. Grandstanding and acrimony with a twist of comedy is classic stuff..

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
actually its all about ideology and they use criticism to point out the faults of the opposition . I like It that way . but when the election is over and the stealing starts I get mad . I wonder about the sex of anyone who does not fight for the job . being nice is what boy girls do .
