Accyman, I think we all know that we have heard all these 'soundbites' before.
We know that that is all they are...weasel words, with precious little effective action to back them up.
It is time for the three major parties to realise that the electorate are fed up with the career politicians, the elite, who think they don't need to listen to the concerns that are being expressed by the population.

During this election(both local and EU) campaign only one candidate knocked at my door.
It is all very well to shove a leaflet through a letterbox. You cannot have a discussion about your concerns, with a leaflet.

And the fiasco of the Milnshaw ward election just goes to show that politicians can say what they like whilst campaigning...once they are elected they will do what they bloody well like, and sod those who put the cross in the box.
