Following on from a recent example of how political parties peddle misleading information, and a recent post on the PCC legislation, BFTF thought it might be a nice idea to challenge the Conservative and Labour parties in Nottingham to see if they could talk to each other and actually agree on anything.
The challenge was very simple, and sent in the email below :

Dear Labour and Conservative Parties in Nottingham
I'm sure you are aware of how the public is becoming increasingly disengaged from politics and that some of the causes of this are the way political parties peddle misleading statistics, argue simply for the sake of it and refuse to see anything good in what the other side is doing.
I'd like to give you a chance to show that you are better than this, that you can talk to each other like grown-ups and can find the common ground between you.
I'd like to give you this chance in the form of a challenge :
"Can you, Labour and Conservative, talk to each other and put together a list of five things the current government has done well and five things that the current government should have done better. They don't have to be big ticket items, small issues will do."
Hoping you can rise to the challenge.
