The UK Election!!!!

Yes, I knew this was going on.I don't have any advice though. Since I have no say in the outcome, I have not paid a lot of attention to the party platforms.

Hopefully, you will handle them better than we do. You need to keep in mind that US elections are a trial by ordeal. It is almost a year from the first primary to the general election, and there can be months of campaigning before that first primary.At least you Brits have the good sense to keep it short. In the US, what is most important is to avoid saying anything that could later be used as part of a character assassination campaign. With the shorter election season in the UK, hopefully that will be less of a concern.

It's not clear whether that is true in the land of the Beeb. It's also not clear whether that is true when the election period (campaigning period) is relatively short.
