Quite so. And I include UKIP in that. The only 100%, absolute, no-hoper I can think of that made promises he thought he'd never in a million years have to answer for, but then suddenly found himself having to come up with answers, is Clegg.I think it is a feature of single issue parties , or those with a narrow focus. They simply do not have a grasp of detail in other areas. They also have no real need to do so as they are in no danger of gaining power and being forced to implement their policies.

The obvious alternative to supporting 'single issue parties' is to continue to have a government constantly swinging between Conservative and Labour. Each is incapable of working with the other and you can guarantee that whatever is proposed by the one will be objected to by the other.
Two cardinal rules for politicians seems to be that they should have an answer for everything and must never dry up. She failed miserably on both counts.

I think also - always give the answer you have prepared rather than the one to the question you have just been asked.
Say 'with respect'
Say 'if you let me answer the question' (then see my first point above)
Say ' I WILL say this....' ( then see my first point above)
Say ' if you let me finish' Etc etc
