I'm not a believer in them myself, or the current program for govt either BTW but I'd read them yes, how would you know what you agree or don't agree with in it. Unless we get a single party govt we are not going to see any manifesto become a program for govt.

Is it that any criticism of Leo and FG can only be made in a spirit of fury/vitriol/outrage as far as you are concerned?
