Comments on this pledge

  • My efforts as a pure council tax payer to get public issues attended to have now given me the enthusiasm to go further in that I will now stand as an Independent candidate in the Bromsgrove constitueny of Worcestershire. For too long now, the people of Bromsgrove have had to hope that their issues came under the heading of being acceptable by Tory and if not will be plainly ignored. The people have a right to be represented without party political interferrance with their issues, presently every issue presented to our MP has to be cleared by her leader David Cameron and a local committee.. If I am elected I will take on all issues from the people of Bromsgrove and not the selected one's. The bin system for example here in Bromsgrove has never been acceptable by the people of Bromsgrove, people have voiced their opinions and have been plainly ignored due to the Bromsgrove council and local MP both being Tory. The people of Bromsgrove pay a lot of council tax and are plainly ignored and should not have to sign petitions for getting pot holes filled in and flooding attended to. Presently when Our MP stands up in the house of commons, she speaks of events around the country and the world with just a mention of the issues plagued by her Bromsgrove constituents, the people have plainly had enough of being ignored and they want change and proof of that requirements was in my election votes being 97% more this year in the county elections than in 2005 !!
