Re: Calling all fathers

That's good to know, too many are all talk and no action. As you say, party
is less important than actions.

Funny, since the advent of television, percentage voting has gone down.
Maybe its too much information.


I'm lucky enough to have local polotitian who is proactive, the only
one Iv'e ever seen. He looks after pensioners, organises rubbish
collections ect.


Which is the sort of politician you want.
My MP is good that way, and so are the local village councillors.

When I asked the guys to move stuff for me, he turned up himself with
the Bin Wagon and volenteers from the community, and got his hands
dirty!

Thats a good way of securing a vote anyway. :)




He walks around the estate and is a man who talks to concerned
residents. I never seen any polotitian do this unless it was a press
opertunity, this guy earned my first vote ever.

Locally they are trying to get the police to do that too, so at least the
local bobbies get to know people and get known by people.
Often meet some council members and sometimes the MP at village events
round here, though our village is a bit restricted in what it can do.



He's a lib dem.

Nothing wrong with that.
So long as he does what is needed, who cares about the party.


Does anyone else know of a polititian who puts his beleifs into
action?

My MP does, he's Conservative and been the MP for 27 years.
Not bad for an area thats largely Labour.
Helps with campaigns a fair bit - though only if he believes in it. He's
not one to try and be all things to all men.

As a conservative, I'd have to disagree.
Labour changed a bit, as did all the parties over the decades. The
traditional bases of support have eroded away, people now will more
commonly choose who to vote for (or even not to vote) based on things
other than who their parents voted for, or who their union wants.

Sorry Martin there only my children.

I think Tony Blair would be a good starting point - he has only
had 8 years to sort it out - and it is his failure to do anything
for 8 years which has resuted in the 'abuse' of children, fathers
and mothers. There is 100 deaths of fathers attributed to the
CSA. boot. Would make a wonderful motion for the Oxford Debating
Society

Any of the politicians could have done something. But Conservative
party was in power when CS1 scheme was created, and still in power
when CS2 change started to be talked about.
However, is a small minority enough to get someone charged?
