You know that raising taxes and taking that path is the third rail. You know the attack from the conservatives is coming right there. And you know the voters concerns with you are going to raise taxes and spend. But you put out the easy target that says “we’ll raise taxes and spend”.

This is the crux of the problem. Do you want a party leading that gets elected for being right, or one that gets elected because they lie well enough to win the election? Obviously the latter is the path to the same cynical destructive politics and governments we've seen recently. Yet the electorate chooses the second option, and somehow blaming them is wrong? Sorry that facts paint the electorate as voting against their best interests, which to me, makes the dumb, but here we are. People are dumb. News at 11.
