I think a lot of folks memories have faltered and for some reason now they can only remember as far back as Boris Johnson and Brexit. It hasn't always been this way. 10, 20 years ago it was a perfectly normal phenomenon that political parties in government or in opposition would actually talk about the policies they wanted to enact. It's a very recent expectation that all policies should be kept hidden until 6 weeks before an election is held.
