I think that in the next election one of the Parties should use the slogan
"We will give a straight answer to a straight question" you are correct ,we are grown ups ,if we do not like the answers then we should never have asked the questions ,If we do not know the answer we will find out .I think that this should be run on "Face Book" and I am positive there would be huge support
