Where did they deviate? The fiscal rules and NI rise?
I guess they will always argue that they didn't know what they had inherited had such a big hole etc...which is kind of disingenuous but with a little bit of truth in it. Did they say they wouldn't change fiscal rules? As for NI they will always argue they promised not to raise taxes for working people...which I guess people will argue about till the end of time what this actually means and whether a pledge was broken or not.
But yeah, they gave no indication that they would do all this in manifesto...a bit of honesty pre election would have been nice, but then they might have lost!
With Spiritualized, I don't think the issue would be about making the noisier songs noisy - it's just whether the quieter ones are loud enough to avoid people being able to have an easy conversation.
