This is despite TDC being censored for not keepng records of the Transeuropa fiasco. Now were TDC officers under instructions from the elected cabinet to operate in this way? maybe few councillors should be asked this when they come calling for your vote.<br />I just hope the \green councillor keeps up his investigations after the election where he seems to be fighting a lost cause to retain his seat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-19833572838885752372015-03-21T10:49:02.064+00:002015-03-21T10:49:02.064+00:00Flat sends his regards Don.

Very mixed views on the election, I would say at local level no councillor feels their seat is safe and there is a general acceptance that TDC will probably become a Tory UKIP coalition. On the MP front I would say it’s still pretty much wide open with a lot of voters who voted either Labour or Conservative last time still considering UKIP. It seems to be moving more towards a fight between UKIP and Labour at the moment, possibly because the Tory candidate is very anti Europe, so if you want to stay in Europe then Labour is the only option. Possibly because of peoples concerns about what they will get in terms of a constituency MP if something goes wrong with there relationship with the government after the elections e.g. if the government stops paying you your pension, disability benefit or whatever, who is the most likely candidate to sort it out for you. So I would say it looks to me as though Labour are pulling ahead a bit.
