I just don't think it's particularly relevant and could cloud the issue. I'm standing for local council which means that I'm putting myself up to be accountable for local issues. By bringing national issues into the equation you're bringing unecessary and irrelevant issues into it.
My opinion on national issues is as important as yours or the next persons but they have absolutely no impact on any initiatives or any good that I could do locally. So it's not a case of defending or arguing against any national policies I just don't think they should come into it in a local election.
