The Labour Party will probably campaign on improving living standards.
Yesterday Ed Miliband went to the Tory heartland of Stevenage to promise that the next Labour government will build more houses.
I think this will resonate with voters up and down the country, many of whom are feeling the affects of the housing shortage
Tories are also going to focus on a cost of living but from a different prespective. The Tories recently leaked their child benefit proposals to the Daily Mail.
In this proposals, child benefit will no longer be given to parents with more than two children.
I think this is disaster of a policy which in my opinion is unworkable. What will end up happening is that more children will end up on the poverty line.
The Tories would also like to restrict free movement of labour between certain countries and the UK.
This is also an unworkable policy as the key principle of the European Union is the freedom of labour movement.
So this would be very difficult for the Tories implement without contravening EU policy.
