The Lib Dem dominance of council seats in our area is not good for residents, we need a voice from The Conservative Party to offer different solutions to problems and increase local accountability.Carl Rydingshttp://carlrydings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30827235.post-87622731668180790242012-03-22T22:20:41.210+00:002012-03-22T22:20:41.210+00:00I have weighed up whether to stand and discussed i...I have weighed up whether to stand and discussed it with various high profile people in Marple.<br /><br />I think I would urge all decent people in this community to shake up the council and vote for the candidate most likely to beat Shan Alexander.Michael Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08616909770570609477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30827235.post-85420439239705939382012-03-21T11:16:42.018+00:002012-03-21T11:16:42.018+00:00Your comments seem a little exasperated and lackin...Your comments seem a little exasperated and lacking in evidence in addition to taking an extremely simplistic view of the Lab/Cons.<br /><br />I am no libdem fan - certainly not at national level but I will be very surprised (NO ACTUALLY AMAZED!) if SA is not re-elected.
