I would say that in all the years that I have watched and followed politics I have never taken such a keen interest in the manifestos.
I was very impressed with Labour and Ed Miliband as they did not make any unrealistic promises they know cannot be achieved and it seems like they had spent time to cost every pledge out.
I would say that they did not provide us with specific details as to what areas they will cut and how much of the cuts the UK public should expect.
However it was somewhat a of good manifesto and it was presented very well by Ed Miliband.
The next day it was the Conversatives and David Cameron turn and their manifesto was a complete contrast to Labour's.
The Conservatives were promising to spend money left, right and centre. This after spending three years telling us that there was no money.
David Cameron presentation of this manifesto was weak. He seemed very red face and came across like he was not comfortable with what he was saying.
He also seemed to gloss over the manifesto and did not go over the weekend announcements of more spending in the NHS.
Liberal Democrats were equally woeful as their leader Nick Clegg only selected one journalist in the question and answer session.
Overall a good manifesto launch for Labour and now they really need to capitalise on this launch and build up a lead in the opinion polls.
