With an air of disillusionment hanging over us both by Labour supporters and MPs in the national cabinet and something fairly similar among Conservatives locally, assuming we don’t get an election in the short term and therefore retain the same parties but possibly not the same leaders I thought it interesting to speculate on who would be the best people to lead us.
As I have said in a previous post I think an elected mayor of Thanet is our best hope in the medium term click here to read it
I am also beginning to wonder if a prime minister elected by the people rather than a political party wouldn’t be better for us as a country.
Having written to the two most senior Conservative councillors recently about the Pleasurama sites temporary use for the summer, something that would greatly benefit Ramsgate and cost virtually nothing I found neither of them could be bothered to reply to me, these people what can one say?
However the question is were you in a position to choose a new leader from the Labour MPs or Conservative councillors who would it be?
News, Local history and Thanet issues from Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate see www.michaelsbookshop.com I publish over 200 books about the history of this area click here to look at them.
Michael, I still have faith in Gordon Brown but my favourite MP is Jack Straw.
ReplyDeleteAs for the local Tories, this is a bit of poser being a labour supportor. Considering they are all Tories anyway I can make my decision on the strength of the character and political conviction, that would be Martin Wise.
What is it that compels councilors (on the whole) to rudely ignore everyone? That sort of behaviour really winds me up.
