Tim, you seem quite reasonable and willing to discuss the issue sensibly. Clearly we are on opposing sides but to me politics is all about debating and changing things for the better. I am a Labour supporter, I don't deny it and yes I was very saddened to see Keith Bradley go because to me he was a great representative for the constituency and, party politics aside, he was a very caring and honourable person. My main issue is not that someone else won it was by the way that they did. If John Leech had run an honest, issue based, positive campaign then I would be unhappy that he won, of course,but I would be no where near as angry about the dishonesty as I am now and will be over the next 4 years. The posters and leaflets entitled 'Save Christie Hospital' denoted to the voter that it was under threat of closure; you know it and I know it. This is not an issue based campaign, it is jumping on the band wagon, along with 60 or so doctors, in an attempt to gain votes. If there really was a closure threat do you not think that both Keith Bradley and Karen Bradley would have picked up on it also and campaigned for the same thing?
