time again approaches when electors find they are inundated with political manifestos, with their pretentious and meaningless content.
They are delivered to homes by a virtually invisible source passing the document through the letterbox on behalf of, but not by the candidate.
The failure of nominees to engender a personal relationship with electors, by failing to deliver the manifestos in person, can only be construed as character deficit.
They lack the necessary confidence, knowledge and integrity to conduct a face-to-face meeting, allowing the elector to make a judgement of the candidate's capability and dependability, attributes necessary when undertaking the role of a public servant.
My reason for raising this issue is due to the fiasco of deceit during 2007 when Sajjad Malik, Tia MacGregor, Paul Sargent and Shah Jahan Khan deliberately abandoned the voters responsible for their selection and election, and had the effrontery to continue representing the disenfranchised voters, who had made a conscious decision to support Liberal Democrat candidates.
Hopefully, electors casting their votes at the forthcomimg elections will take notice of the undependable candidates.
