But, once in power, you do rather expect administrations to be honest about what they plan to do, cost it properly, deliver (within reasonable variations) what they promise - and let us know honestly when things go wrong.With ten-twenty years of spin behind us, who genuinely believes the comments from Central Government any more?If folk haven't been honest in the past, why would you believe them in the future?
