I'm not sure what you hope to achieve by continually pressing for my views on everything the Labour party has ever done. Are my views to you so important that they would affect the way you think of things - of course not! So why does it matter?

I have never claimed to be the oracle for the Labour party in the area, I only express my own opinion! If I don't have one then I can't be forced into creating one just for your satisfaction.


But just for you, Wynonie, here are links to threads where I have expressed an opinion.

All of these are posts that are about national or local politics and on all of them I express an opinion.
Is that enough for you or would you like me to find some more?

I my experience it is useless trying to change anyones opinion, where a political view is held. For instance it is futile for anyone canvasing to knock on a door which has, say a Labour or Conservative poster in the window, although I have sometimes just called on Tory voters just so we don't take them for granted. But say for me to call on a known labour supporter would be daft or the other way round. A young eager campaigner was once on the knocker with me and said he was going to try and change someones mind, so I let him, half an hour latter he had no success, I then informed him he had just lasted very valuable time, I doubt if he's done it since.
