Letter to the I: Talking About Policy Letter

I read Nick Clegg's article about caricature politics with great interest.  I think one of the main reasons why political discussion has been reduced to sloganeering and caricatures is because of people's reluctance to discuss policy.  People feel embarrassed about talking about politics already, never mind policy, because they feel intimidated about getting in to such detail.  And yet who is best to judge the cause and effect of policies, but those who live with their consequences?  The BBC can help encourage wider discussion of politics and policy by not scheduling programmes discussing them on so ridiculously late in the day.
