If Croydon North By Election is anything to go by………..

then our current democratic system can be compare to a Norweigan Blue!

Only 26% turned up to vote; is it apathy, is it cold or are people fed up with bollocks media hungry candidates who only want to further their own career? Should people be forced to vote, and if so can’t you reject all the candidates stating that you don’t want any of them to represent you?

Choice is only good if the options available are palatable. Politicians need to take a long hard look at the needs of modern society and how these are best served.

Oh yes, Labour won with 64% of the vote; approx 15,699 votes – what a fucking joke. It is the votes for those that lost are more telling:

  • 161 people voted for the Richard Edmonds, National Front, who, whilst in the BNP, admitted that they were 100% racist
  • 1,400 people voted for Winston McKenzie, who agrees that a gay couple adopting a child is equivalent to child abuse
  • 707 people voted for Lee Jasper, who stood for Galloway’s Respect party, who has refused to apologise for stating that rape sometimes is not rape just a misunderstanding. 

That’s 2,268 people in the North of Croydon who positively voted for people whose views do NOT have any place in a cohesive community.

Today is Croydon North By-election but I wonder how many candidates actually know the area.

The one thing that pisses me off about by-elections is how political parties manipulate the electorate in order to progress an individuals career rather than specifically represent the needs of the constituency. If you don’t live in the area you are simply bound to all the consultants and advisers – who make a fuckin packet – in order to get a view.

Another thing I have is ‘trendy’, ‘down with the kids’ slogans; Labour are using Steve4Croydon. Fuck me is that the best that Milliband et al could think of………very original – and he’s based in Lambeth, a fucking joke.

South Norwood & Thorton Heath need a hands on MP, who is willing to fight for minorities rights, both locally and nationally. Since Croydon Council became Tory, South Norwood has been continually ignored and mistreated. It not only needs strong representation but someone who works for the area NOT the party.

What it doesn’t need is candidates that advocate for rapists and candidates that are homophobic.

Labour believe they will be a shoe in on Thursday with Croydon North By election

I was talking to one of the Labour councillors last night, who believes that a Labour victory is imminent and will continue the good work done by the late Malcolm Wicks. She didn’t see Winston as a threat (and that was before she heard of his recent outburst) and though that Lee Jasper has too much baggage.

I met Andrew Stranack on Saturday, and whilst he is a Tory, he appears a nice chap but shouldn’t do well due to the demographic of South Norwood. I am actually appalled that a National Front member is standing and hope that the electorate show them that they are not welcome around our neighbourhood.

Perhaps it will be a shoe in after all.
