Manifestos are the set menus from which the electorate choose the political meal that they will be eating for years at a time. I go back through time and have a look at the manifestos of elections gone by to explore what might have been, or what should have been.

I also take a look at the news of the day from the perspective of "what was promised". I'll do this with a particular focus on The United Kingdom, England, and Leicestershire in particular, where local issues crop up.
