Dear Gordon (3)

Why so negative? Your little temper tantrum with the Rochdale lady pretty well typifies your campaign. Criticise anyone who seems difficult. Slam the opposition. Create fear. Bully the electorate.

But there was so much to be positive about. The Labour governments record is a good one. And you were part of that success. Why so little reference? Afraid it points to your predecessor and not you maybe?

Seems to me its fear of failure that has driven you. Fear of letting go of power. That’s why you took the enormous gamble of the televised debates. Good for democracy. Not so good for you though.

Well, we’re there now. I’m a Labour voter. But not this time. I don’t react well to scaremongering. I don’t like bullies. There’s an Independent standing in our constituency. A local man, with a good local agenda. Time for a protest vote.
