    I think it’s probably worth a go given how ineffectual we’ve been…

    Certainly worth assessing or experimenting with the constraints/requirements to focus how it can be applied

      Yeah, after having this conversation I’ve wondered why parties aren’t promising this.

      I think National want to be seen to be tough on crime. If they remove crime then they lose a voterbase.

      If Labour do this then it might be seen as a National-type hard on crime move, which could lose voters.
