FOLLOWING the election, I wish to show my disappointment in the way the Labour candidate for York Outer treated the electorate during the recent campaign.
No election literature was received or any door-to-door canvassing by party supporters was done in my area at all, in fact it seemed as if the Labour party had no wish to fight for the seat and was happy to leave it to the remaining parties.
This was a betrayal of all the Labour voting members of the public and what made this more disappointing was the news that on the day of the election, the candidate in question confirmed in the press that he had taken a full-time position within York, hardly inspiring news for Labour voters, and epitomises everything that is rotten with politics, the treating with contempt of the voting public.
