Time to unseat

From the The Argus, first published Friday 15th Dec 2006.

Those who have signed the petition against cut-backs in the NHS must do more if they wish to stop the cuts.

Thousands signed the petition against post office closure and those who signed the petition were just ignored, not only by the Government but by politicians of all parties.

MPs of all parties appear more concerned with keeping their seats than with rocking the boat by voting against the Government.

There cannot be anyone in the country who does not believe that if the Conservatives had been in power, the whole of the Labour Party would have voted against the war in Iraq and would have been voting against NHS cuts and closures of post offices, so why do they accept all this without a mumour - only to keep their seat in Parliament?

Why do the Conservatives and Liberals show their support by joining in the marches against the cuts then vote for the cuts in Parliament?

All who wish to stop the cuts in the NHS and the post office closures should campaign to unseat their current MP at the next election. It does not matter if that MP is Labour, Liberal or Conservative, he or she should be voted out of office.

You can see that if Soames in Mid- Sussex, Maude in Horsham, Barlow in Hove, Moffatt in Crawley or Baker in Lewes thought they would lose their seat at the next election, they would join an alliance of other MPs to stop all Government business unless it stopped cuts in the NHS and reversed the decision to close post offices.
