In response to the registration of south-manchester.co.uk, I own the domain (which records will show has been registered for a number of years), and I was happy to temorarily use this domain to support the campaign. Again let me reiterate the point that while, as a member of the Labour party, my view can't be impartial, I do look at both sides of the argument, for instance see the news item on the EDMs John has signed which reads as follows: "On the excellent Pims website you can keep up to date with the Early Day Motions John Leech has signed. So far the EDMs signed range from concerns about using animal testing for drugs used on humans, rexamining the case for reintroducing small standing areas at football grouds, making St. George's day a public holiday, restoring the national anthem on BBC 1 at the end of the normal day's programming, and perhaps most importantly that Parliament decide whether to deploy British armed forces." Disagree with me if you will, but that cannot be seen as anything but a positive article on what John Leech has done while he has been the MP. Other than that, there has been little to report, other than occasional press cuttings (see the Press link), as John has not spoken in Parliament since he made his maiden speech. I think Zoe's letter in the reporter is right, John should either explain why he mislead people about Christie or apologise for his campaign. The reasons for setting up the website are almost an irrelevance... does anyone not want an MP that is not responsible for their actions? The idea that Keith Bradley did not get relected on the single issue of Christie hopsital is not one worth debating - you would be stupid to assume that Labour voters annoyed by the War in Iraq, top-up fees, and other issues were not swayed towards the Lib Dems. Whether the student vote and local issues had an effect are not something I can reach a useful conclusion on, but at the end of the day that is all in the past and somewhat of an irrelevnace. The facts are, John Leech had an excellent, well organised campaign, and Labour lost this seat. The question I ask you is, if John Leech is willing to use cancer patients, and their treatment as a political football, and mislead people about the supposed "closure" of local hospitals, then what else is he going to be willing to mislead people about? I'm still waiting for an email from Emma about my campaign for the local community.
