It shows that they care and that they are prepared to work at doing a better job.

It certainly doesn't mean that vouchers are a good idea. All vouchers do is funnel public money into private schools and worse, charter schools. I don't really get how that's a conservative idea; sounds like a colossal waste of money and misallocation of resources to me.
I don't necessarily agree with what the WRA wants to do, but I'm not going to stick my head in the sand and say our public system doesn't have any problems.

It does, and they need to be addressed.

People also need to realize that the WRA is a new party. Their policies are going to be formed as time goes by based on what the people want(hopefully). If they get enough feedback on the voucher system than they are going to change it.

Problem is the majority of the people don't care.
