Empowering The People

Day Two of the campaign and a great day of canvassing and leafletting, along with a visit to a Working Men's Club for refreshment and a really good discussion with local small business owners. People have had enough of being taken for granted by a local establishment and are ready for an MP who puts the North East and local people first.

This election is all about empowering and trusting the people, as part of the wholesale reform that our politics needs. That is why I'm enthusiastic about the idea that local people will be given the power to recall and MP they don't feel is performing or they are not happy with. This will keep all MP's on their toes and ensure that they always focus upon serving the constituents who sent them to Westminster.

This is only part of a wholesale political and constitutional reform package that we need in this country. Empowering the people needs to be the hallmark of this political reform.

With four weeks to go, there is a real desire for change on the doorstep in North Durham. Please feel free to add comments. If you want to donate to my campaign for change, you can do so via the following link: http://tinyurl.com/y9whlnx
