"Watered down"

No mention on Channel 4 News of Ed Miliband's new policy on zero hours contracts.

Guardian writer Owen Jones has already dismissed it as "watered down".

Is this what David Axelrod is being paid for?  The announcement of new policies that splutter a little then go out.  Or is this some kind of subtle stealth-launch, deliberately leaving policies lying about in the hope that someone will stumble on them by accident and be unexpectedly delighted?

There is barely a year until the General Election - relying on the serendipity factor is not going to be enough.
