Lobbying emails are pouring in at this stage of the election. But in the last two days one huge lobby has come crashing into my inbox - email after email asking will I support the Robin Hood Tax
I've signed up.
I ask everyone who reads this blog to sign up too.
And by the way - compared to the daylight robbery of us, I don't think of the Robin Hood Tax as us robbing the banks back - I think of it as a kind of redistributive justice.
If we're ever going to save planet earth and the billions of us on her then this has got to happen.
I wish you all the very best for Thursday Moira. You would make an honest, sincere and proactive MP.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your vote of confidence.
ReplyDeleteI have had a warm reception everywhere I've been, in towns and tiny villages - and also many Labour supporters have said (hugely apologetically) to me that they feel they must vote Lib Dem in order to not have a Conservative MP in Central Devon.
I would like everyone to vote Labour, but I do understand their feelings about their dilemma. My great hope is that after 6th May who-ever holds power will see their way to changing our electoral system.
I read an article in the Independent which said that in 1950's only 1 in 20 people voted tactically. The figure in the last election was 1 person in 4. The Tories claim to be the party for change, but they don't want to change to a PR system because they know it wouldn't favour them.
Thanks again. We're nearly there now.
Moira
