    I was comparing platforms over the weekend and easily spent 20 minutes digging through the conservative site for a platform. The closest thing i could find to the cons platform is a news articles laying out the different platforms. They had considerably less info for the cons because they only had a handful of headlines to assume a platform from. How the hell is this the party that is in the lead? How the hell can the party that called for an early election not have a platform available from day 1?

      They know they can’t actually compete on a policy level with anyone really. This is a lot of bravado and chest pumping to garner attention and media coverage as a last push. Also this way he’s avoiding as much as possible waking up would be voters who are happy to remain at home with their heads up their ass otherwise.
