I would be interested to know if any parties / candidates have a differing view or would reverse this promise.
I guess besides extending the passport expiry dates, they should consider the option of putting more pages in the passport! My 48-page passport usually needs to be replaced long before its 5-year expiry. So extending the expiry date won't help!!

I'm sure there are a lot of FTers who have the same problem as I do.
