Not about this particular time but my Dad tells me that even as a Conservative voter he was very uncomfortable with the media and govt; with its attacks on Neil Kinnock, who my Dad didn't care for at all.
However he was really annoyed and nearly didn't vote at all in protest at what he says were really despicable attacking of Glenys Kinnock his wife in 2 elections.
Of course there are punch and judy politics but the deep personal attacks on Ed Miliband are unnecessary in my view.
I as a voter can engage in attacking the other parties for what they seem to stand for however,I would I hope always refrain from making attacks as to their appearance.
I think it is time polticians grew up and stopped that offputting part of punch and judy politics, in fact that is another thing this PM said he wanted to see happen, yet he has become one of the main offenders as to it and seems to even encourage it
As you point out too, sections of the media have described it as excessive.
Anyway, I have a feeling this budget,such as it was, will not have the impact hoped for.
