I wont quote the rest of it as it's only a couple of posts above. All these thing's sound very good for Hyndburn Graham. So why did you not take control of HBC? I suspect it was down to the way you marketed yourselves. It is very difficult to attract the attention of the public when more than half of them don't even bother to vote and many of then think there is no point because nothing will change, crack that and you will be in I am sure. Maybe you would be in control know if people read the leaflets and understood what was going on around them. Most don't even bother to read the information you give them so I think it is time to find a new way to get the message accross. I don't think cars driving round with PA systems shouting out "Vote Labour" work either, all they do is annoy people when you wake up their babies
I still think people vote in local elections for Political Parties and national issue rather than local issues and local candidates. You must have lost votes due to the stupid antics of several MP's over the last few weeks. Tony Blair has sent us a strange message by keeping his Deputy as well hasn't he? I would have expected them all to be out as I believe they cost Labour heavily last Thursday.
I know i have probably stated the obvious so you are more than welcome to insult or swear at me again if it makes you feel better.
