Yes and the irony of it is not lost either!

I just saw this steve and yes it is tasteless but it is also true, for 25 years the Tory party lied to the public by telling them one thing and always doing the opposite.

They truly were the masters of disguise.

It's probably the worst thing if you happen to be a Labour voter. The other parties must be quite happy about it though.

Does anyone ever change their vote on the basis of party political broadcasts?

If yes, how shallow you are.

If no, why do the parties waste their money on them?

Oh, and Cameron is a chameleon and I have a tartan rug waiting for him.... think about it...

Anything that shows Cameron and the Tories up for what they are, has got to be good.

Oh I don't know it certainly made a change from the usual dull party political broadcasts

You can also get Dave Posters, PC wallpaper, Screensavers and even ring tones.

Seriously it's a very clever strategy. Anybody who was around in the 80's may remember the damage done by spitting image to the credibility of a number of politicians, most notably David Steel and David Owen.

Humour's a very powerful political weapon if Labour can get Cameron associated in people's minds with a CGI puppet lizard they'll totally undermine him.
