Speaking personally only obviously,I acually would say this is the poorest performance by any sitting Prime Minister there has likely ever been.
I have only actually watched elections since 1997,and I was only 5 for that one but my Dad let me stay up all night to watch it
I love hearing people tell me about how elections used to be, where PMs got heckled endlessly and the politicians were all over the place trying to win votes.
This campaign and this Prime Minister,forgetting his running away from regular encounters directly with his political opponents,has been atrocious.
All through he has really not revealed a single important detail as to what he is going to do and where in the future if he won.
He still, despite having over 2 years to think about it,has not even said what it is he 'might' be re-negotiating as to the EU.
There is the welfare cuts of 12 billion, that people most vulnerable, sick and disabled know he has said will be done, however he is making them wait in anxiety as to what it is he will cut, when and against which sections of the sick and disabled will he hit.
It has to be against them and jobseekers, as he has said, no pensioners or the extras pensioners get will be touched at all.
To admire a man that would let the most vulnerable worry about what was to happen and for him to say they 'have ' to wait until after the eelction before they are told, is,for me, a total disgrace.
He has plucked things out of the air, never said before,such as the 8 billion for the NHS,where has he found that all of a sudden,we again are not going to be told until after the election.
Is it more deep cutting, or is it maybe from some private source,buying into the NHS to take over some aspects of care,at a price.
Is this some part of the shelved re-organisation,(which he blatantly lied about doing in 2010), he had to remove from the reforms done in this parliament, that he dare not also reveal before the election is over.
He has allowed a largely negative and personalised campaign against Miliband, and now the SNP.
What is really however the difference with Labour doing a SNP deal or him doing a deal with the DUP, a largely still sectarian party in the UK.
Sorry but not much in my view.
He ridicules the defence plans of Labour but he has presided over the 'sacking' of soldiers,planned while on duty in Afghanistan too, he also refuses to commit to pledging 2% of gdp to defence spending.
Again keeping vague as to his intentions on defence, except for the full renewal of trident.
He has told the voters nothing at all, he is doing all sorts of photo shoots here and there but giving no details as to anything to really anyone.
Yet he is the one in the know, he is the PM, he has all the figures to hand,he actually said more of what he would do when he was the opposition.
It is understandable that oppositions cannot be totally sure of what they will achieve but the govt; of the day has all info and advice at its fingertips.
Yet he is getting away with revealing nothing to voters at all and is admired for that!!.
I think he has fought a dismal campaign for a PM, he acts like he is ashamed of his record in govt; not proud of it.
For me he is the worst leader of any party at present and he is for me, the likely worst PM the UK has had, for his endless procrastination on policy and deliberate avoidance of informing the voters of his true intentions too.
More terrible is, he calls achieving about half of his original promises and targets successes,his immigration targets gone massively wrong, stupid to make at the time but this weak and hopeless leader made the pledges all the same as to it, deriding all others records too.
He also derided Labour for only wanting to cut the deficit by half,saying it had to be 'all' cleared by 2015 or that would be disastrous for the UK,he has taken half off it,only by manipulating how the deficit is now measured as to the economy, which is different to how it was measured in 2010.
Still only half off at best.
Is there any point in going on, it would fill probably 4 pages at least of this thread if I were to.
This however could be seen by anyone as him being the best on this campaign, really, god help us all and the UK too then.
One thing he has revealed to us of course,is something very close to his heart,he will try to make foxhunting legal again.
I mentioned that to a group of people I was taking to while campaigning today, their response was, ''NO surely he isn't''.
I said he sure is, it is in his manifesto, they were absolutely horrified.
I actually do think that policy is right for him however,because it sums him up, he will use a pack to weaken and bring down those he doesn't like or respect.
He is happy to gloat at those left with no chance of defence.
It fits wonderfully with his heartless and cruel streak he directs against those he sees of no worth at all.
The jobless, the sick, disabled and most vulnerable.
Who he is planning to attack again with 12 billion pounds worth of extra cuts, likely to their benefits.
If ever a PM was the least worthy ever to be returned to power, then this is the one.
He is hiding,cowering from the big issues all the time.
He will only be able to confidently scream all the detail out as to such cuts and policies, when, were he to win god forbid, he will have his baying pack behind him as he does so in the Commons.
The best in the campaign, for crying out loud, he might as well not be there at all for what he is actually doing and saying that tells the voters anything.
