Debunking all the tories promises

Starting, as is customary, from the beginning, with pledge number one:

We will work with councils to freeze council tax for two years - saving £200 for the typical family

Firstly, this has already been promised by all Labour's London councils and secondly, some brilliant calculations by Unity at Liberal Conspiracy have shown that Cameron's idea of the typical family is one earning in excess of £67,000 and with a house valued at over £260,000. Given that typical is synonymous with average, this is way above the national average of £35,000 and £155,000.

Next, moving onto their pledge about reassessing 2.6 million people on incapacity benefit, good idea, shame the incumbent government is currently doing it. Did Cameron not watch Benefit Busters on C4?
Replacing the universal human rights act with a British bill of rights can be described as, at best pointless and at worst downright dangerous. How would this 'strengthen traditional British liberties'? What are these liberties? Traditionally British law was stacked against homosexual people, homosexuality was only decriminalised in 1967. Doesn't this mean that this new bill of rights would re-criminalise homosexuality? Who's to say they won't? Section 28 was only introduced in the 80s and the current Tory party associate with some extreme homophobes in Europe. The tories can't call themselves the true progressives then bleat on about 'traditional British liberties.'

Cutting the number of MPs by 10% would surely increase the workload on those left, leaving some MPs having to sit on more than one select committee without saving a huge amount of money. Purely a populist vote winning idea, with little real benefits.

Cutting ministers pay by 5% will again, not save too much money but is an obvious populist policy, after the expenses scandal.

Cutting Quangos, a policy for Littlejohn to spunk over, but I'm sure one that will have little implications, considering all they will do (and have to do) is move the quangos functions to another department. Also Cameron is going to set up 17 new quangos anyway, just to give the Mail something to moan about.

The Military Covenent, as far as I can see... actually... A GOOD IDEA. Pity it was thought up by Labour MP John Cruddas. It's astonishing that Labour doesn't listen to the left of the party more often.

That concludes Part 1, I haven't got time to debunk all the policies at once...
