In answer to Gordon William's Letter - P H Gaston

Mr* Gaston who lives in Hawarden had difficulty following Gordon's argument as to the resulting election. Mr Gaston states that Gordon fails to understand the difference between Parliamentary and Local Elections.
In Parliamentay Elections only a small amount of electorate will know the candidate or have met him/her personally.
Also some candidates do not live in the constituency.
Therefore the politics of the candidates party weigh heavily in favour.

He then argues that the opposite is the case in local elections.
He then states that locals will know the record of candidates if they have served on councill's before.
Mr Gaston then points out that Gordon and Klaus have both been County Councillors. That the voters put Gordon in 4 th place and Klaus with 38 votes, less than even the BNP!
He ends with "No further comment necessary."
End of letter.
The BNP seem to scare the pants off the established parties.
National politics in my opinion require a shake up, less spin more action. The current Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem parties make one dispair. I'm for a benevolent dictator who prefers market forces and small government accountable at a local level. (not Mr Chavez!)
Klaus didnt get many votes. I know nothing about his record in local government beyond what I read but being a fully paid up member of the awkward squad can be an advantage.


* I presume a Mr and not Ms /Mrs
