Independent Candidate for the South West region in the European Parliamentary Elections 2009

Friday 8 May 2009

I wasn't going to blog tonight, but.....

Today's Daily Telegraph Editorial says it all really - the continuing saga of MPs expenses is a scandal at the heart of our democracy. My JURY TEAM colleague in Scotland, Alan Wallace has also written an excellent piece on his blog. I'm disgusted and angry, to the point of finding it difficult to articulate without resorting to the kind of language more suited to the messdeck than a rational political discourse.

Make sure that you are registered to vote, then on 4th June make sure you go to the polling station, even if you have to crawl on your hands and knees and use the one weapon that will hurt them - your vote. A vote for a Party candidate is a vote to accept sleaze and corruption, as is the stay at home option. Vote Independent, vote Jury Team and lets start rebuilding democracy and honesty in public office.
