It would be lovely to think that because we have fantastic policies, that we cost them out, think them through and make sure they are achievable before we promise them would be enough. We then throw in a bit of personality and prove we are human, and that we care – but still that is not enough. Now because of the way the media have worked it we need to be a celebrity. Ask the average person which MP’s they can name and it will be the ones involved in scandal… The media though has not made it about policy or personality; it has become about who is the best celebrity.
