Are you David Batey but any chance? Your posts seem to reflect the tone of the Lib Dem leaflets being stuck through my door, full of untruths and worryingly with claims to be responsible for championing community causes in which I know you haven’t had any involvement in!

I’m very disappointed to read your petty posts on this site, the handle you use tells all…

Lord Ashcroft… I don’t think people really care, do they? I think the average person in the street are more concerned about getting fresh new politicians in the house who will represent them with dedication and determination. After meeting Jack listening to him speak in Derby City Centre two weeks ago I was impressed with his openness, is accessibility and his willingness to have a intelligent conversation about what matters.

Respectfully Mr Bola im within my right to oppose any candidate that I want, if you have read my posts you can see that ive not opposed him at all I want to hear more from him before i make my mind up…my vote my right. He has not even nearly shown he has what it takes yet, quite the opposite, I get quite weary of a candidate that is from the south and has never been involved in the politics of derby before and has next to nothing in common to me or many people I know in Derby, nevermind even showing his opinion on the things that are happeining in Derby. As a young briton I want more debate and more information about the specifics of what my candidate will do for me. Why should I just accept sound bites as enough, the british public deserve more and to be honest its why so many of my collegues are so turned off by politics. All I want is some response from jack to my posts…which is a justifiable request.

Hi Jatinder
Why don’t you come up with an issue which is important for Derby South. Stop beating around the bush and show us your real colour. The truth is you have nothing other than just opposing Jack because he has what it takes to represent Derby South. Derby south needs fresh ideas and not more of the same.

I agree with you that there are many other issues regarding animal cruelty that need to be addressed, I also think that the fox hunting ban is at least making the issue of animal cruelty visible for all, so personally dont think its a distraction as such but bringing these issues to the fore, which has to be a good thing.

And me? I’m not standnig for election, just yet, im a little too young. I also hold down a full time job having graduated last June and have felt the full effects of the recession as well as being involved in Derby politics since a very young age, im currently 22 for yor reference, I dont understand what your point is, are you questioning my integrity or think that I dont work hard to fight for my beliefs? Debate and discussion is the best thing about our political process, lets get some good debate going here!

‘Transparency is one of the critical elements of our approach to government.’

Lord Ashcroft…need I say anymore?

Your political inexperience is telling.

‘The Conservative Party, with all its resource and specialisation, finds it hard to get accurate and clear statistics out of government really demonstrates how opaque this government has been.’

The statistics that the Tories got wrong are from independent organisations. The crime stats are independently found. As fir the teenage pregnant rates…Tory high command said that over 50 percent of teenage girls in deprived areas become pregnant, however, someone failed to put a decimal point between the 5 and the last number. It just goes to show how out of touch (ory high command is, that they thought the figure was correct.

The most important thing that could be done for animals is to force labs to share test data. They don’t now resulting in animals being subjected to the same test at different labs.

I’m sorry and I disagree with foxhunting but animal lovers have allowed this to become a distraction when in proportion other animal welfare issues are just being ignored.
