Could do better

If Vince Cable is going to make promises he knows his ass can’t cash, why is he being such a cheapskate? Why hasn’t he gone the full Corbyn and promised to do something like abolishing income tax and giving everyone a free fortnight at his villa in Greece? Why is he not thinking big; is it due to some deep-seated personality defect? After all, he’s never going to be prime minister but there are people with voting privileges who take his daft ideas seriously and will vote for him because they want to pretend that the impossible can happen.
