It's like deja-vu all over again
Last night, I heard the words 'sums don't add up' on the news. Again.
It seems all three of our major political parties are using different number systems. The Conservative's plans were slated by Labour and the LibDems, the Labour plans were slated by the Conservatives (and probably the LibDems, but I wasn't paying that much attention) and now the LibDems have their own set of sums that don't add up. I guess it means they're now a proper political party. But, as someone with limited experience in this sort of thing, do any of the parties ever say that the other parties' sums DO add up? Or do they all have press releases prewritten on the day they expect their opponents' manifesti, to the effect thsat the opponents can't count?

I think the ability to count is the first thing to be sucked up by the "black hole" that each party is accusing the others of having.
