[Margaret Pilkington]

Jim, I think it is more than a little patronising to assume that we cannot make rational and reasoned decisions about who to vote for.
Suggesting that we are influenced by a particular newspaper is a bit of a cheap shot.
Not something I had you down for.
I have always considered your posts to be considered and moderate.
I respect your right to choose and the reasons for your choice.
At the same time I hope the Labour Party lose,then they might find someone more capable of leadership in opposition...and they might (given time) find their way back to being a party you could consider voting for.
