It's about policy

Political campaigns can sometimes veer towards the sensational and the irrelevant - scandals, how photogenic a candidate is, their performance in a single debate, a clever marketing ploy, or any one of a number of factors that don't actually say a damned thing about what the candidate or the ticket will actually do if elected.

This is why properly analysing the policy of the respective campaigns is extremely important.

There are huge differences between C&R and City Vision on policy. Not only because the two groups hold philisophically different views on a range of major policies, but also because City Vision is actually stating in detail what our policy is!

Look here to see the rather short and extremely vague bullet point list of C&R policy. Is this collection of apple-pie banalities really a serious platform from which to govern a city? The question is, with so little up-front policy, what are C&R planning to do that they are not telling us?

Contrast this with City Vision's policy. While you may well find aspects you disagree with, our policy is comprehensive and detailed, with carefully developed papers on eight specific areas of policy.

With C&R who knows what you will get. With City Vision it is all up front.
