This election appears to be one that both main parties duck their real colours.

The Prime Minister has just been on the job for a month or so. Admittedly, the past policy mistakes and the way the leadership changed are a factor.

The opposition leader has had image issues, especially with female voters. Besides, the main reasons and lessons of the last election defeat are not forgotten.

It is an election and an interesting one. Understandably they are both cautious, even though both have been strong in their beliefs.
