Emma, I appreciate what you are saying and I agree that the community should come first and none of us should lose sight of that. Apologies if I seemed to jump the gun! My experience of John Leech differs somewhat from yours. I believe that his election campaign was disgraceful and I have no idea what he actually stands for. The only materials I received focused on slagging off Keith Bradley, moaning about the Metro link and claims that Christie Hospital would close. At the public meeting I attended he gave ten reasons as to why we should vote Lib Dem (only getting upto reason 7 before his alotted time ran out)which came from the national line and provided no substance. Like I said earlier, the community should come first, I agree, and as MP, regardless of political affiliation Mr Leech should serve the community that he represents. In that sense good luck to him and I hope that he works hard and does make a difference. With regards to party politics and ideology I completely disagree with him; as far as his campaign is concerned I am disgusted. As I have mentioned before I am a supporter of the Labour Party, and a member, but it is not biterness that drives me to question Mr Leech. Of course I am upset that Keith Bradley lost, he was a great MP and a very nice person who showed genuine concern for his constituents and worked hard for them both in the constituency and at Parliament. However, politics is politics and he lost the seat, that is the way democracy works... my biterness lies not with the fact that Keith lost his seat but by the fact that John Leech ran such a disgraceful campaign. I want answers from him, as do a lot of other people. I personally believe that it is time Mr Leech stopped running from the issue of his campaign tactics and held himself publically responsible for the deceitful way in which he ran his campaign.
