The 'Dirty tricks' campaigners in the forthcoming UK election are out in force

Just got in from work and there's a campaign leaflet on the mat.

It features something of a rant from what you assume to be 'a prospective candidate' letting you know just what is wrong with the country and how this 'candidate will challenge it and 'make good'.

It features two small photos of (presumably) this candidate with groups of 'Nurses and Doctors', the other photo is with 'elderly folk'. Both about the size of a postage stamp.

On further research you discover this is actually the sitting Conservative MP.

Yet nowhere in this leaflet are the words Conservative; Conservative central office; Prime Minister......

It's obviously a cynical attempt to get folk to associate a name with 'his ideals'

Be warned folks. They're out there trying to steal your vote.

It is the only hope that a sitting Tory MP with a majority below 15K has. To be fair, there are some decent local politicians who do a good job for their constituency and have never been part of a Conservative government. So good luck to them!

The Tory party has plenty of money to throw at this election campaign. They are not going to give up easily.
Even though they have ruined the country and will not be fit to govern the country for at least ten years.

Aren't the Tories now getting Boris Johnson to write a letter to constituents to urge them to vote Conservative instead of Reform? Considering you can plot a direct path from the election of arch populist Johnson, through to the rise of Reform, that's like Frankenstein warning the public about the monster he helped to create.

Am I missing something, or doesn't our Democracy function on electing Members of Parliament in our own locality, not a presidential-style Prime Minister or even a political party?

@ArtieKat Which is what's really worrying about the election.

None of them can fix the problems we're in as a result of those decisions made, without fixing the economy first.

Now if we were....Italy; Germany; Netherlands; Poland....these countries build or create and produce things.
Sure, they have their troubles too.
But they have bargaining chips. We don't !

It really is a sorry state of affairs.

Lets be fair here. The British pollies have a lot of catching up to do to match the Americans. You have to start small.😷
