Liberal Democrat manifesto scores a hit

The Western Mail's Chief Political Reporter has taken an objective and hard-nosed look at all the party's manifestos and found some fault with all of them. His article today however on the Liberal Democrats' offering is worth reading:

Agree with their plans or not, at least the Lib Dems have done what we have a right to expect of all parties aspiring to high office: they’ve set out what they would do in quite precise terms.

Why couldn’t the other parties have done the same?


Indeed!
Comments:
I'm looking forward to the launch of the Welsh Liberal Democrats' version tomorrow.

There has been some (largely disingenuous) criticism of the national manifesto, from the usual suspects. Richard Baum has a good rebuttal.
 
Could the reason that at least two of the other parties have to be slightly less explicit be because they actually stand a chance of getting elected?
 
The Welsh Liberal Democrat version was launched at 9.30am today
