a) Would you rather I promised little and delivered a lot, or promised a lot and delivered little? I wanted to emphasise how I go about thinking about things, as over a four year term there's no way you can predict what challenges and choices you are going to be faced with. Given the current deficits in the National Government budget (which are quite simply mind-blowing) I'm afraid I can't help but feel that who ever is governing us a couple of years from now they will see local government grants as being a simple cut to make. Also much of what Local Government does is limited by what National legislation allows it to do. within four years that legislation may well change, becoming either more or (most probably) less restrictive, so it's very hard to pin down exactly what pledges to make, as I can't at this point be sure what I would be practically able to follow through on for a whole host of reasons. What I can do is say what sort of a person I am, what my priorities are, and what my basic world view is. So that's what I tried to convey.gk141054 said:a) the content of your fliers is far too generic compared to (for example) Labours (a bit of David Cameron rubbing off there maybe?) and b) your pictures on your leaflets are awful... could you not get any better ones...?
b) Well if you haven't got the clay, you can't make the pot I guess... Those photos were mainly taken in the space of about half an hour, about an hour before the leaflet had to be signed off for printing. I think in the circumstances I would describe them as "reasonable"
