f you, like us, have seen some of the election
coverage and thought, “but who can I vote for
to have an actual impact on my life?”
Well, our political correspondent was recently
in a Westminster pub and overhead a real-life
story which shows that the General Election really
can have tangible and immediate results for your
the everyday motorist.
In one constituency at the last election, where
the candidate for Parliament was from the same
party as the sitting council, the candidate dropped
leaflets and knocked on doors inviting people to
report pot holes.
He or she, or his or her minions, then got their
right honourable council friends to fill those very
potholes. Then, said candidate and his or her
minions, contacted the happy voter to see if they
had any other concerns which could be addressed
after the election.
Whether those other concerns, which
presumably ranged from NHS to social care,
through tax to unemployment were ever
addresses after the candidate swept to power

obvious - and if you will pardon the pun - its a two
way street.
The prospective MPs want your vote, and they’ll
promise a lot to get it. But why not ask for a little
advance - why not ask all the candidates in your
area to fix the potholes and promise them your
vote if they manage to get it done before the
election?
It may not have a massive impact on your life,
but it will certainly have an impact on your car’s
suspension.
