I got my first leaflet through from the Labour party yesterday. (Not actually addressed to me but to a previous occupant of my house).
It looks like the local Labour party have beaten me to it and got a copy up on The Straight Choice already.
The leaflet is basically pretty positive. Hugh Bayley does not attack anyone. Instead his leaflet concentrates on what he claims to have done for York since the last election. His claims include an extra 5,800 jobs, halved NHS waiting times, £91 million investment in schools plus £60 million on city college, reducing crime and increasing payments to pensioners.
Obviously a lot of these are, at least partially, down to national Labour party policies rather than just Hugh Bayley's personal influence but it is a positive start from the Labour candidate. It will be interesting to see if the other candidates try and critique Hugh Bayley's claimed achievements or continue, as some of them have been doing so far, banging on the sleaze drum.

Only 1 leaflet? I am shocked, I am currently up to 10.
ReplyDeleteI too have only received from Labour, I may have received a green one, but that would be filed in the bin as I am an environmentalist and realist over a enviromentalists.
So far your blog is the only regional details I am actually receiving on all parties. So thanks for that one
