I think it is a one horse race. The whole reason the by-election was called for June 4th was to coincide with the Euro elections. Voters will have their minds concentrated on that, and the swing against Labour will be massive.Don't Call Me Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602899129846028170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269067397168966943.post-7228700046916777292009-05-12T12:22:00.000+01:002009-05-12T12:22:00.000+01:00The Labour Party candidate is Alon Or-Bach, a well...The Labour Party candidate is Alon Or-Bach, a well known local campaigner who is on the board of the Jewish Labour Movement.<br /><br />It shows how Tory tinted your spectacles are, that you think an edgware ward by-election is between the conservatives and lib dems!<br /><br />This is the ward containing the Spur Road and Stonegrove estates - a abandoned regeneration estate, which was recently named as one of the most deprived areas in all of Europe.<br /><br />And what local representation have the area's Tory councillors given to residents?<br /><br />Has the state of the estate, and the effect on the surrounding area been fought for in council?<br /><br />of course not, the tory councillors as you regularly document are too busy following their party line in council to bother standing up for the poeople they represent. As fund flow from the tax pool into nice Tory areas in Mike Freer's new parliamentary constituency, ordinary residents in other parts of Barnet are abandoned.<br /><br />Your musings about national issues are really irrelevant when it comes to a council election - you costantly raise the issue of terrible LOCAL government in Barnet. What edgware needs is a strong left-wing voice to make sure the area gets its fair share of Council attention. Not another Freer patsy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
