Candidates for Whittlesey North

I now know who the Candidates for Whittlesey North are.



They are Jes Hibbert for the Labour Party and Dave Chapman from the Lib Dems. You may now be asking "who?". It's a good question, given that neither have been politically active at all in Whittlesey over recent years. Dave hasn't stood for election for many years, whereas Jes has not done any serious politics in Whittlesey for at least four years. Indeed he had a sensible but well-known fall out with the Labour Party during the Blair years. So can we assume that he is back in love with New Labour under Gordon Brown?



Actually, the serious point is, how much commitment as a Councillor could you expect from someone whose only involvement in politics is during elections? What Whittlesey needs is opposition that shows some commitment.



I am relishing the next month.
