The birth (or death) of a relative, the release of a new program, game, series, movie, the date you were dreaming about, could be anything
I am actually excited for the Labour programme, though I realise I’m in the minority! The lack of enthusiasm is mainly because people have so little faith things will actually get better and partly because Labour haven’t always been great at communicating why they’ve made (IMO necessary) changes to their policies.
Agree with you about conservatives, but that has always been the problem with conservatism, unfortunately.
