Absolutely. Without a hearing a slogan I will put an X in the box of the party I think will do best for the country. But, if I hear a catchy or inspiring slogan, then I might well put an X in exactly the same box, but with a slightly jaunty flick of the pencil on the ascending second stroke.

As we seem to be losing the battle for our own language to be spelt or pronounced correctly, it must be time to re-classify English as British-English and insist all exports to this country whether computers or car manuals are in this version of the English language. Otherwise the English language, as we know it, will disappear and the generations coming through who use American English spellcheck, watch American TV programmes and films will only recognise the American/Australian version.
