Either its just meaningless tat like "change change change" (which, by the way steely, Cameron reckons he started saying before Obama. Weird) or blue-sky promises which have often been broken before (labours "clean politics" or not having tuition fees, all that) or rabid, almost sensless attacks on the other parties, with the Lib Dems playing their classic role of "look at those horrible two. Elect us instead and we will piss rainbow juice into the mouths of the hungry and poor".
