Labour:
Illegal war under Tony Blair: huge protests not only in the UK but throughout Europe.
ACMD resignations over political pressure: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 members of the scientific community gradually withdraw from the board in protest. Public focus on the resignations makes no difference to the behaviour demonstrated by Labour.

Tory:
Propose tax breaks for married couples. The break amounts to next to nothing financially, but the question remains: where would the money come from? Ultimately, from those who didn't get the break. The single person. It's ok though, as they'll raise the limit for inheritance tax up towards one million pounds, from the 250k or so it currently stands at. Bear in mind, the inheritance tax point has been changing with inflation (unlike some other tax break points), so this proposal is designed specifically, to benefit the rich.
Out of interest, how much do you need to earn to get a one million pound mortgage? At 3.5 times earning, approximately £300k. Not many degrees will get you there. That sort of money has to be inherited.
