INteresting. I think that honesty might be the new spin (remember you heard it from me first!). The local candidate here who looks poised to win is a case in point - at an all candidates debate, he was asked how he compared to the Conservative incombent and replied, "I think Jim is a good man and I only hope I can work as hard for you as he has. I want you to elect me because you believe our policies are more in line with your needs and values, not because I dislike Jim."
Guess what? He got some applause from everyone in the room.
