Parenting-the theme for the general election?

The Tories do seem to be making the family a main plank of the election build up. David Cameron was at Demos yesterday declaring that “What matters most to a child’s life chances is not the wealth of their upbringing but the warmth of their parenting.” Presumably Cameron’s life chances were not enhanced by being educated at Eton and Oxford-and presumably his parents were only able to demonstrate the warmth of their parenting during the school holidays.

But given the issues of marriage and parenting do seem to be raising their heads as key election issues how should we respond?
