Election leaflets - Rebuttals

Interesting stuff going on in the local county election leaflets. I dealt briefly with the Conservative one, but what's interesting is the responses from both Labour and Independent Health Concern regarding claims by the Conservatives.

As mentioned and repeated by Labour the Conservatives are all for the Relief Road that's why they've done nothing about it while in local power. The IHC points out that the new lights for Raven Street claimed as an achievement for the Cons were always part of the overall plan and that the bridge was repaired out of necessity rather than benevolence.

Not pointing fingers directly at the Cons, but it seems 'our accomplishments' envelop 'things that occurred while we were present' regardless of who initiated them, championed them or voted for them.

Anyway have fun tomorrow and remember even if you don't want to vote for any of the parties, you should still go to vote and simply spoil your ballot paper or post it as blank. If you don't you'll just get lumped into the apathetic crowd and give the government an excuse (as if it needed one) to 'encourage' you to vote by either making it easier (text-voting while drunk) or mandatory (failure to vote results in a fine).
