I know what you mean but really you would need someone who understood the national issues far better than I. For instance, there are a couple of quite big issues that I disagree with Greg Pope's stance on but he is our MP and I respect him on other issues and as a person. I could publicly state which issues I oppose and which I agree with but ultimately I would not be able to let you know why the government made the decisions it did and what the detailed ins and outs were. I will stick to the local issues because that's what's important to me and as far as the forthcoming elections are concerned they are what matter. |
Re: Political threads
I am totally apposed to Greg Pope because he publicly stated that his vote on the war with Iraq was what he wanted to do.. He was quoted in the observer as saying he knew it was against what the poeple of hyndburn wanted but he had to do what he thought was right...
funny but I thought he had to do what the people who voted him in wanted... see I know so little about this game :) I cant even remember or care what his vote was or anything to do with the subject.. my point being he spends a lot of time swanning about the world on fact finding missions and all in the name of hard work.. then ignores the people of hynburn to have his own say. ADDY ON BIT : To that end.. calling him "our MP" is a bit ..well you know.. . |
Re: Political threads
Fair enough Gayle, I regret your decision not to make a foray into the arena of national politics, but I respect your reasons for not doing so.

Re: Political threads
So forgive my ignorance Gayle. What are you standing for... a councilor perhaps... what area?

Re: Political threads
I'm going to be standing for local Council - St Andrew's Ward, Oswaldtwistle.
