You then take my argument, you quite frankly plagiarise it and make it your own! Trying to blame me for talking too much about the past and not the present. How ridiculous! I hope the voters can see you for who you are.

This is exactly why people are so apathetic about politics, you are exactly the reason people are so turned off and why voter turnout is so low now.

Hypocritical, past your sell by date, a spin politician twisting peoples words to make yourself look good in any situation. We need a new politics, we need to work together, we need to be transparent and open, not treating the voters like idiots, people can see you're completely twisting my argument to your own benefit, we might have fallen for it in 1997 but no more!

Their are two sides to every story and which ever team you bat for you are going to look at it differently. I personally don't know why Graham nor any other Local Politician bother to sacrifice to give up the majority of their personal time and effort because they can never do right for doing wrong it seems. It is easy for us all to sit behind a computer screen saying 'this or that should/shouldn't be done'. Actions speak louder than words.. if people are so passionate about their views why don't they attend meetings and voice their opinions publicly or even stand themselves. Maybe they might appreciate what they actually do do and what they sacrifice for others, even if they have to necessarily agree with their opinions. At the end of the day Graham & Peter aren't doing things just for 'the crack of it'. Whether they approach things ruthlessly or softly they are done with the intentions they think will benefit their communities or cause. It also doesn't necessarily mean they agree with issues within National Politics either. Everyone has an opinion but before you criticise and accuse people of trying to pull the wool over your eyes.. try opening them and see the bigger picture. I'll say this to everyone not everything is Blue & Red sometimes it needs to be Purple. Everyone needs to stop fighting each other and work together.
