I support much of Oshea’s policies and am tempted to vote for him in spite of being strongly opposed to the Liberal party. What has turned me against Oshea is that most of his publicity is third party from his agent which demonstrates a weakness in his commitment.
ANSWER: The law requires everything I say during an election campaign to be published by my agent. I can assure you – this is all my own work and words. His function is to ensure I don’t libel anyone or deliberately mislead anyone.
This election is more about specific policies for Surrey, and about the competence of the candidates than party labels. I have the experience and ability to do this job – so if you agree with most of my polices, please vote for me.
Nick, I am pleased that an Independent won given that the establishment conspired against them, but I am would have preferred you in the post: you are a dream ticket for the role: management accountant discipline is needed more than ex police, army or legal folk. Maybe in 20 years time, taxpayers will realise the squandering and taxation on this nation’s ever weakening commercial profit that goes on funding an appallingly inefficient public sector. Your NHS experience would have been well placed. Andrew
