But where do you draw the line Kerr. By that definition, can any election promise be seen as an attempt to 'buy votes'?

As a party focused hugely on tax cuts historically, can the tories be seen as the worst culprits of 'buying votes'? (not implying that tax cutting is always a bad thing by any means, but interested in why one thing is classed as a tax bribe, but another thing isn't? How do you define the difference? (again, this is a thought for discussion not a big challenge, so please try not to be rude!)
